Cast does not solve truncation. This part of commit msg suggests that
you actually fix real issue... and that is an issue, because then
AUTOSEL will grab it. This is just compiler warning silencing and rather
coding standard correctness, no real fix, so please drop the sentence.

If there is a data loss, cast does not solve it.
