I'm not completely sure what this comment is in reply to, but I don't
see the relevance to this discussion.  Are you arguing that we don't
have full support for reinterpret_cast, and therefore shouldn't claim
that?

In any case, would you mind making sure this is filed in Bugzilla so
we don't lose track of it?
