Andrei, what do you think about the unsigned(x) not showing up on greps
for 'cast'? No problem? Is the grep irrelevant? Not all casts should be
marked as a cast?

People told me the grepping was important, so I tried to work their idea
in.


I understand, you can still search for:
"signed(" // signed or unsigned
"cast(u" // unsigned
"cast( ... every type ... )" // trying to find signed conversions


But I was trying to make the thing more predictable altogether.

Grepping is useful for identifying dangerous patterns. What a dangerous pattern is varies according to the person, but it's not possible to grep for everything that everyone considers dangerous.
