I could certainly live with that, though I'd prefer something that sounds a little more ... dangerous. :)

I prefer quantity_reinterpret_cast myself - more time to think while you're typing...

I don't think the name matters from a safety perspective. How likely is someone to accidently use a cast, especially if it only has a single meaning? Also, extracting the value type is, IMO, safer than static_cast and const_cast because those can produce a value that is incorrect to use at all. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
