Hey David,
I'm -1 on deprecating it, and +1 on adding additional conversion functions of various sorts: explicit widening, explicit narrowing, etc.
What is your reasoning against deprecating it? That `fromIntegral` is a function that should be used in new code? That emitting a warning for potentially wrong code is bad by itself? Or that people have to change their code to be warning free? To me, a deprecation constitutes an organised, non-disruptive migration from the old function to the new explicit functions, and I'd really like to understand what people's reservations against it are.
