Don't you think that forcing people to cast pointers is much much more
dangerous than allowing simple equivalence of pointers when they aren't even
being derefenced?
What about this:
struct x *f() { return ptr;}
unsigned int *x = (unsigned int *)f(); // yikes!!
Now you are opening up a whole can of worms by forcing programmers to expose
themselves to errant casts which will *never* get picked up by a compiler.
How many times must I repeat myself - you are wrong!
