Since we (as far as I understood) would use this primarily for broken-by-
standard APIs that we can neither fix nor change, I don't think providing
the correct type explicitly would be a big burden. It should allow the
compiler better checking still.

Of course typeof() or const_cast<>() would help ;-)
