Hi Brad -

Thanks for your response. Answering one question:

It's really just that C compilers emit warnings when you
do things with different but equivalent pointer types.

For example, if I pass int8_t* into a routine expecting char*,
I usually will get a warning. And we don't like our generated
code giving us warnings... I suppose we could ask the C compilers
for fewer warnings.
