Yeah, I lean that way too, although trailing whitespace should be
supported IMO.
I don't like having two different ways to cast things and I think we
would break a lot of stuff if (int)"123abc" no longer resulted in 123.
What has casting and passing a parameter have to do with each other
anyway?
IMO, they're totally different things.
How is it not related? A function defined to take an int is passed
"123" and it magically works. Or a function defined to take a string is
passed 123 and that also magically works. How do you describe that
other than through casting? Do you really want to document a different
set of "function parameter type conversion rules" that have nothing to
do with, and are completely different from casting?
