> C uses pointer casts all over the place to fake generics.

by "C" do you mean users of C? because most of the C code I write I don't use those sorts of techniques; instead I just use the preprocessor to make scuffed generics.[1] Unless you mean in libc itself, where I don't recall any use of pointer casts like that? If I'm missing something, please enlighten me.
