We are talking at cross-purposes. You have provided two examples. The
compiler can't implement examples. The compiler can only implement some
sort of definition. So far my best guess is that your definition is
"warn about implicit conversions from float to double except for those
conversions caused by default argument promotion applied to arguments
passed to unnamed parameters." Is that what you want?
