Why do we even need these one-line functions? Can't the calling code just do the casting?
not always. there are contexts in which function is legal but a cast is not. if anyone tries to change all the calls to these objects they will run into this.
Hmm. That certainly could be, although I am unable to imagine such an instance. In my quick grep through the repositories, I'm not seeing any that cannot be changed. Can you give an example where a cast could not be used? ..chrisxj
