If I were silly enough to assign a (long *) to a (char *), I'd EXPECT a
warning from the compiler. Once again: YOU DO NOT DEPEND ON THE LANGUAGE
TO DO THE THINGS YOU SHOULD BE DOING YOURSELF. Casting, from my viewpoint,
is one of those things that is the programmer's responsibility. The whole
thing is a non-issue for me, since I always explicitly cast. If I get a
compile warning, I did something wrong.
