As a little intellectual exercise, can you now list some good
arguments for casting malloc()?

No. I tried hard to think of even a single good reason, and failed. P
J Plauger, however, can give one good argument for *P J Plauger*
casting malloc.

I was converted from malloc() casting to non-casting. However, as you
say, some very competent people do retain the cast.

I only know of one competent person who retains the cast. P J Plauger.
