I'd rather have an operation whose semantics are a little dangerous than something that doesn't work at all. As it stands we need to use C-style casts for this and I don't think there's a good reason to forbid this at least from the C++ standard point of view. For OpenCL where we have the concept of address spaces it makes sense, but not for C++.
