Thanks for the suggestion.

Is that a Canadian spelling (:->)?

Yeah, well, call it a personal quirk, call it an act of rebellion.
But when I see an ISO standard that tells me I don't need this conversion
by saying that

   "A pointer to void shall have the same representation and 
    alignment requirements as a pointer to a character type."

and then tells me IN A FOOTNOTE that 

   "The same representation and alignment requirements are meant to
    imply interchangeability as arguments to functions, return values
    from functions, and members of unions."

the horror I feel at this shameless confusion of abstraction layers is such
that I feel compelled to ignore the passages altogether (:->).
