Range check errors are inserted only at assignment. Within the expression
at the right side the value can be bigger/smaller than what is allowed.
The compiler even doesn't know the type of the final destination at that
time. And in pascal the rule is to do the calculations in the native
integer type. That means 32 bit (or 64 bit for amd64).
