This is okay for trunk and backports.  Thanks!

I realise this is a testcase, and in one frame of mind it is good to test
all different styles and bad habits.  But please never use casts that do not
do anything in correct programs: the only thing such casts do is they shut
up warnings in incorrect programs (including the same program after a wrong
change).  </petpeeve>
