[David Blaikie via cfe-dev]

Sounds like the sort of thing that'd suit "modernize" - but yeah, some
extra documentation helping describe where things should go might be
handy :)

I see in this page that one of the ideas for new tools is to refactor C-style casts to the appropriate C++ style cast. I'm interested in working on it but I'm not sure where I should contribute it to. I see in clang-tools-extra that there are two ways of adding features, and that is to add the project at the top-level as something like clang-refactor-casts, or to contribute to clang-tidy, particularly the modernize subdirectory which the change for this also fits appropriately in.
