They're both the same size (32-bit), so casting between the two shouldn't
cause any problems. As long as nothing is then trying to dereference the
resultant pointer, no worries. TList is quite good about this, so you can
use it to store integer values. I've used this in the past to store integer
tokens in a TList of pointers to act as markers.
