My proposal has been to usurp the option name for "warn for any implicit
conversion that may change a value", which would at least have uses (e.g.
catching some signed/unsigned security issues); and I don't care much
about whether the other existing warnings remain available under
-Wconversion-traditional. Implementing this has however never been a
priority.
