[sv-bc] 5.7.1 sign extension

Hi, 5.7.1 says,
Sized negative literal constant numbers and sized signed literal
constant numbers are sign-extended when assigned to a logic data type,
regardless of whether the logic itself is signed.

Isn't that true whenever the right-hand side of an assignment is signed
and for any data type on the left-hand side?

If so, why make a special case for this?
If not, why not?

Thanks,
Shalom
