Yeah, I know that that's practically correct. Just I wanted to make
clear is whether we (always) assume int == int32. I don't want to do
that just because that works. Even though we cannot be perfect, in
this particular case the destination space is explicitly made as
int32.
It's a similar discussion to the recent commit 3b4ac33254. We choosed
to use the "correct" symbols refusing to employ an implicit assumption
about the actual values. (In that sense, it is a compromize to assume
int32 being narrower than int is a premise, but the code will get
uselessly complex without that assumption:p)
regards.
