[swift-evolution] Explicity Size Clipping

I either don't understand or can't reproduce the issue. This code:

> class Box {
> 	let value: Int
> 	
> 	init(value: Int) {
> 		self.value = value
> 	}
> }
> 
> let test: UInt32 = 4
> let box = Box(value: test)

does not compile ("foo.swift:10:22: error: cannot convert value of type 'UInt32' to expected argument type 'Int'").

> Without that last method, Swift tries to give the UInt32 to the Int version of the method which isn't safe in my eyes and I would have expected a compiler error.
