FWIW, this extension is used in at least (determined from just

ok, that's quite a big list, thank you. I don't suppose you know which
version of this extension they're using? :) Will Ziemowit's
restriction
to pointers satisfy them?
I haven't looked at that list, but one data point: CW restricts this
cast to pointers, so that's good enough for CW compatibility. I guess
we learned just today (thanks, Eric!) that Solaris supports some
version of this extension, at least for C. We don't yet know the
boundaries of Sun's version of the extension.
