    Using the C-style casts shouldn't be done in new C++ programs, it makes much more sense to whoever's reading the code that you do actually want to force the compiler to do something different.

    Note that many compilers will convert (type*) to dynamic_cast<type*> if you give them polymorphic types as arguments. I don't think it's part of the standard though...
