IMO, you shouldn't have to cast to int first, if you are just casting 
back to byte:

int x = cast(byte)-b;

assert(x == -128) // both with and without intpromote

But I don't know if the compiler can be made to see this eventual result 
and not output the deprecation. Either way, the deprecation is still not 
a full error.

It shouldn't output the deprecation I think:
