   > Note that, although this is indeed "reimplemented" in the pyarrow conversion code, this implementation is consistent with the casting code in C++.
   And whether this "check if value is withing fixed range" is the desired behaviour, or we want to relax this to larger ints that are representable as float, that's a discussion for https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/35563

   I'm not sure it is consistent. Note that the original discussion here is not about "large values that are outside the range of safely representable doubles" but about "is truncation `safe`?"
