OK, thanks.

This might be useful if the language allows it. Rather than issuing 18
separate warnings on the following - which would require 18 casts:

static const IncTest< __int8 > inc_int8[] =
{
       { 0x00, 0x01, true},
       { 0x01,0x02, true},
       { 0x02, 0x03, true},
       { 0x7e, 0x7f, true},
       { 0x7f, 0x80, false},
       { 0x80, 0x81, true},
       { 0x81, 0x82, true},
       { 0xfe, 0xff, true},
       { 0xff, 0x00, true},
};

Require us to perform the first cast, and then {accept|imply} the type
on the remainder since we specified the type on the first element:

static const IncTest< __int8 > inc_int8[] =
{
       { (__int8)0x00, (__int8)0x01, true},
       { 0x01,0x02, true},
       { 0x02, 0x03, true},
       { 0x7e, 0x7f, true},
       { 0x7f, 0x80, false},
       { 0x80, 0x81, true},
       { 0x81, 0x82, true},
       { 0xfe, 0xff, true},
       { 0xff, 0x00, true},
};
