That would be great. Just to be clear...I respect your "push back" on  
this (I wasn't trying to justify my short-term hack).

Since GCC compatibility is a stated goal, all I want is a way to  
accept some of the bizarre type casting that GCC allows (since it  
shows up in several OS headers that we don't control).

Thanks again for your patience/support,
