It's not ridiculous at all. The compiler cannot tell what values will be
possibly passed to f, and the range of byte and short are sufficiently small to
make overflow as frequent as it is confusing and undesirable.
The community has insisted for a long time to tighten integral operations, and
now that it's happening, the tightening is reported as a bug :o).
