Yeah that was understood.  My point was that lint complaining was not unreasonable.

Yeah, again the casting is a bit dodgy.  Unfortunately, there does not
seem to be a lint directive to tell it "Just shutup and swallow the
next cast please", something like /* CASTOK */ or something would be
nice.

Agreed, I think it just needs a directive that can be used to silence
lint where necessary.
