File a bug report.  The arguments are *not* assignment compatible.

"3.3.4 Conversions that involve pointers (other than as permitted by the
constraints of 3.3.16.1) shall be specified by means of an explicit cast."

I think this should have been under Constraints rather than Semantics; as it
stands, the diagnostic appears to be optional.  Is there any value in *not*
flagging this as an error?  (Btw, this same clause covers pointer-vs-int
collisions.)
