Mark says
"Why was the Unchecked_Conversion of an invalid scalar made erroneous in LM 95
instead of a bounded error like the coresponding uninitialized variable case?"
For discrete types, I think this is an excellent question and cannot think of
any reasonable response.
For floating-point, you might have trouble with signalling NaN's, though
this could certainly be handled too.
