Ummm...  I don't think you are supposed to ignore those messages that
encourage you to "cast types" in the first place:  it's the C compiler's
way of "enforcing"  const-ness.

The sad thing is that no C compiler is able to enforce const-correctness
consistently; they are only good as comments, and as such, I prefer
comments over keywords. This keyword gets in the way and forces to
cast types; it never helps.
