  12. I just took a look at More Effective C++ and noted the explicit casting
  13. operator "static_cast". This emphasizes the cast, making the source more
  14. readable, but also uses a functional form, thereby indicating that a
  15. function call may take place. In addition, there are some other cast
  16. operators that provide better control over casting.
