There are a few of these type of warnings, at least some of which are
'intentional', as you say. For example, the variant test test2.cpp does:

///
variant<char, const char*> v1;
const int n0 = 88;
v1 = n0;
///

With the comment "Implicit conversion to bounded type", so you don't want to
be explicitly casting the int to a char to avoid the warning.
