Because the compiler can warn you if somebody changes a declaration and the cast turns into something other than a static cast.
It's better to use a static_cast, dynamic_cast, const_cast or reinterpret_cast than the old-fashioned cast which can try too hard when you'd rather have a warning.
Right now, the compiler will not accept it though. You get a FTBFS with the 2nd patch, the first patch builds fine. How do we fix the 2nd patch?
