In which situation would you want to search for all casts in a piece of source 
code? Without the use of a semantic grep tool?

I wouldn't like the extra noise of a static_cast when a constructor call 
would suffice. Obviously, C-style casts should be avoided (in headers, 
IIRC, they're caught by headerscheck).

Thanks,
Marc
