I've pushed this.

I know there are hacks that can work, but I'm still sceptical as to
putting in compulsory casts all over the code.  Casts often hide bugs,
and in this case would change the API, if not the ABI. 

I agree we will sort out some suitable marker, I'm just not sure what it
should be, and we will have to make it a general policy, or else we just
end up with a patchwork.
