I am not sure, but that seems like it's only created in c-family
indeed.
However, we do use it in libgccjit here:

Ok, but do you think we'll want to support casts between integers and
pointers?
I opened an issue about this
(https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=95438) and would be
willing to do a patch for it eventually.
