No it is not, it is more complex than a just a simple type-casting
expression, it is a cast which does nothing to the bits at all. It acts
more like a reference than a cast as it is also can be used on the left
hand side. I am working on a patch to have GCC use VCE more.

Actually it would be better just to fix the problem in the first place
as mentioned before.
