I still think this is a mistake.  If I want to be warned
about old-style casts then the compiler should _always_
oblige.  It should be up to the programmer whether or not
to ignore compiler warnings.  That was the premise of C.
I still think it's valid to let the programmer decide
rather than the stupid compiler.  How else will we catch
all the archaic code that hopefully should be eliminated?
