Great, I'll add that helper then.
I was wondering: do we want to add b2u and b2i helpers that take a bit-
size as well for completion? They would be trivial to add but I have
not come across any place where we need them at the moment since I
think we usually handle all the cases we have through
nir_type_conversion_op().
