Hey, upcasting because it is needed for a calculation is one thing, but
simply changing a type doesn't happen by itself. And such behaviour is
usually documented somewhere and has a reason (how annoying would it be if
you want to do some math, and C keeps on annoying with "int not compatible
with double", when all you want is "2.5312e63 * 2"?
