Could we perhaps extend `UsualUnaryConversions` with a default-true bool flag to control the handling of integers/bitfields? I can see that it might be exposing too many internal details to users of `UsualUnaryConversions`, so I'm not sure. I don't know the best practices of clang/sema design here.
