A static cast like that should never be required for an assignment in a 
C++ program.  C++ has strong type checking, but static casts completely 
disable this feature.  If the compiler refuses to allow the assignment 
without a cast, you need to work within the type system to fix it, not 
bypass it.

(That's the general rule...there are exceptions, of course.)
