Description

For example [this problem](https://github.com/haskell/bytestring/pull/582#issuecomment-1522476846) with a recent patch would have been trivial to diagnose if we enabled `-Wconversion`. But enabling a reasonable warning set would cause a lot of noise from our existing C code, so this task has rather low priority.
