Would you mind adding it to SVN? Would make it easier
to comment on. In particular, it would be nice to add
examples for X86 (caller extends. High bits undefined
in the callee) and PPC (callee extends).

And I still don't understand why in

short y();
int z() {
  return ((int)y() << 16) >> 16;
}

we can remove the sign extension on x86 (I really think we cannot).
