If the ruleset won't change - and from what I've read from the developers, it won't change - could we please have the compiler issue a warning (or a hint) if a loss in precision happens.

E.g. "Warning: constant reduced to single precision. Use {$MINFPCONSTPREC} or Double() to keep full precision."

I am aware about this behavior now, but nevertheless I'd like to get warned if I forget about either of those.
