   (`#51567: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/51567>`_)
 - Clang now diagnoses narrowing implicit conversions on variable initializers in immediate
   function context and on constexpr variable template initializers.

+  with terminals with dark background colors. This is also more consistent with GCC.
