Ryan,
If you want to get rid of (ugly) typecasts then maybe you should
investigate the "absolute" keyword. You get a lot of examples in the
LCL. For example, here's one I chose at random:
function TGtk2WidgetSet.RawImage_CreateBitmaps(const ARawImage:
TRawImage; out
ABitmap, AMask: HBitmap; ASkipMask: boolean): boolean;
var
GdiObject: PGDIObject absolute ABitmap;
GdiMaskObject: PGDIObject absolute AMask;
Desc: TRawImageDescription absolute ARawImage.Description;
....
You could describe it as typecast done in the var clause of a method.
The right hand identifier is not restricted to function parameters.

I’ve cleaned up some code by declaring uses in the implementation and using
generic untyped variables like TObject for parameters. This compiles but I’m
left with lots of ugly type casting in the implementation because the
parameters for methods are untyped. Yes it works but I feel like the compiler
could be helping more.
