This week, C++ommon Knowledge attempts to discuss old and new style
casting in an evenhanded and nonjudgmental way. With partial success.
Actually, we come down rather heavily on the side of the new cast
operators. And say disparaging things about old style casts. But we
made a token attempt to be open minded.
