      The round-trip test currently used by checked_cast doesn't work in some cases. For example:

      checked_cast<uint>(SIZE_MAX) => error as expected
      checked_cast<int>(SIZE_MAX) => no error?

      The problem is that SIZE_MAX successfully round-trips because
      static_cast<size_t>(-1) => SIZE_MAX
      due to sign extension when promoting the type.
