     * widening coercions, which never lose data. An example of a
     * widening coercion is coercing a value that is a 32-bit signed integer
     * to a value that is a 64-bit signed integer. This is distinguished
     * from a narrowing coercion, which may lose data. An example of
     * a narrowing coercion is coercing a 64-bit signed integer to
