Actually, I'm surprised that this works even in C - I would

AFAICT C would have complained if he had included <math.h>.
This is a rather unlikely mistake...
Anyway, in C being able to work around restrictions is
sometimes desired, so... if you don't want the ability to do
it, don't use C.
What restriction does not checking, by default, that the
parameter types match allow one to work around, though?
C already has `void*` and explicit casts, either of which would
allow one to explicitly indicate that type checking is not
desired.
