Argh...  Question: how much do we care if we see BINOP[+] with 64bit
type as result and 32bit type in one of the arguments?  That's what
we get when we have
        char *p;
        int i;

        p + i

with -m64.  IOW, how much does it violate the assumptions outside of
frontend?  We do not allocate any new nodes if sizeof(*p) is 1...
