I always use the appropriate *_cast<> when converting pointers; Unsafe pointer casts are rare and it is good that they stand up. I do like the C cast syntax for scalar casts though as they are often used to silence warnings for conversions that would happen anyway. I wish there was a variant of -Wold-style-cast just for pointer types.
