2892. Unclear usual arithmetic conversions

[Accepted as a DR at the June, 2024 meeting.]

(From submission #533.)

Subclause 7.4 [expr.arith.conv] bullet 1.4.1 specifies:

• If both operands have the same type, no further conversion is needed.

What does "needed" mean?

Proposed resolution (approved by CWG 2024-05-31):

Change in 7.4 [expr.arith.conv] bullet 1.4.1 as follows:

• If both operands have the same type, no further conversion is needed performed.
