This should fix some of the lint issues in proplib on some of our platforms....and countless other bits of code that have been "fixed" over the years by casting constant arguments to one type or another.Yep. Do you have suggestions for how to find these? Coax lint into helping us? ;-)
Actually, I now that I think about it, I think you could coax lint into helping... modify lint to issue a warning about a constant that is being cast to a type when the constant would have already fit into that type's range. Make it a new lint option flag...
