(in reference to casting a string to an int)

Off the top of my head, I can't remember when I've used this. Vaguely
I remember having a program that needed to run X number of times. So I
passed an argument "123" which main's argv got.

Now in order to run it that many times, I needed to cast "123" to an
int 123, so I could use it in a counting loop.

If I get a chance, I'll look through some of my source code to see
where I've used it.
