and if I see a failure talking about int when I want a null pointer, my first instinct would be to assume it's an overload or deduction error, and just cast it, at which point it will compile.
If you cast, you're dropping type safety, so you're on your own. A code that performs casting, outside of low-level coding or a few idioms like CRTCP, is a bad thing.
?? I don't see how int* ip = 0; is less dangerous than int* ip = static_cast<int*>(0); The latter is only making what the compiler already does implicitly, explicit. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
