I agree. It is possible to have a lack-of-index problem on the
referencing column (as opposed to the referenced column), but that
normally only hurts you for deletes from the referenced table.

8.0 will not fix this particular issue, as I did not add any numeric-vs-int
comparison operators. If we see a lot of complaints we could think
about adding such, but for 8.0 only the more common cases such as
int-vs-bigint are covered.
