No I improved the check.

My previous patch was limited: I have limited this patch hoping that it will be easier to triage and review. Right now I only warn if there is assignment and RHS is a DeclRefExpr and only for loss of precision.

I'll try when I get some time.

Yes that sounds like a good idea.. I''ll try to look at that.
