Well, I sometimes cast a char * to an (unsigned char *) or a char to
an unsigned char when I'm going to be doing bitwise manipulation on
the data. I don't think you can get away with no typecasts at all.

Some of our code does make a habit of explicitly casting from void *
to other types (I've been inconsistent myself). I believe that may be
necessary if you want to be able to cleanly compile the C code as C++
code, but, I'm not sure.
