Here is my argument again:

1) A cast has different semantics than an implicit conversion.

2) If the implicit conversion is correct, replacing it with a cast to silence a warning is incorrect.

Which of these two points do you think is false?

Both may be true or false. A cast only has different semantics when casting to types different than the implicit conversion. Your assumption, all along, is that the cast is to a different type. -- Rob (Sent from my portable computation device.)
