ยง5.4p4 specifies which conversions a C-style cast (called "explicit type
conversion" in the standard) can perform:
| - a const_cast
| - a static_cast
| - a static_cast followed by a const_cast
| - a reinterpret_cast
| - a reinterpret_cast followed by a const_cast
It also states:
| If a conversion can be interpreted in more than one of the ways listed above,
| the interpretation that appears first in the list is used
As the list of possible conversions depends on the concrete type, I don't
think it is possible to provide a fix-it when dealing with dependent types
of a template (non-dependent types should be fine though).
