I know its not necessarily a LVFPGA issue, but its us LVFPGA users that use fixed point numbers most often. Why don't fixed point numbers always show coercion dots. If every unnecessary numerical digit wastes chip resources, then isn't it more important that we know about these coercions so that we can avoid them?
Are you suggesting that they should also change the red dot to blue on the I16 going to an I32 as shown above? If so, I think it might be difficult to see it.
Personally I'm indifferent to the color of the dot as long as there is an indication in both directions (precision being removed, precision being added).
