There is a cast. The part "(x)" of "(~(x)0)" is the cast. And I

functionality (but with predefined types). Maybe this would be the correct
position for such a macro? (I don't know it... just thinking out loud).
Kind regards,

The final conclusion of the IRC discussion might have escaped me but wasn't
there supposed to be a cast somewhere ?
