Keep staying wary about casts. Much too often they are used without
good reason (or for bad reasons, i.e. to keep the compiler from com-
plaining about something suspicious). Only use them if you exactly
know why you have to do it and only if there's no better way. In most
situations the compiler should be able to figure things out. Only if
you made sure that it can't a cast should be used and then it will
serve as a flag to the reader of the code that something special is
going on at that place.
