Comment (by pbristow):

 I've just hit this warning too, after writing as little as

   date d(day_clock::local_day());
   std::cout << d << std::endl;

  warning C4244: 'argument' : conversion from 'int' to 'unsigned short',
 possible loss of data

 Since this warning C4244 is normally telling you something that you should
 worry about, I am reluctant to disable it.

 As John Maddock observes, this is not a trivial or purely cosmetic issue,
 but I feel it should be fixed somehow.
