In my experience it means that programmers start to figure C is
so dumb they have to explicitly cast *everything* - which not
only makes it impossible to read their code but ensures neither
the compiler nor the human has the faintest idea whether the
programmer *really* intended a type conversion or if there is
a bug lurking. Not good.
