Since that's a transition flag, it's really only a stop-gap solution. So, if
his issue is that he doesn't like having the casts in his code as opposed to
not wanting to deal with updating his code right now, the flag really
doesn't help.

I'd say that if he's not going to abandon his library, he either needs to
just grit his teeth and use the explicit casts, or he's going to need to
refactor the code so that the casts are unnecessary.
