At some expert level, you would exhibit this kind of confidence.

However, only for the code you write.
The problem lies in semantic shadowing by different kinds of 
casts to raw pointer coupled with different memory management 
strategies among the frameworks.
Passing a pointer given by framework A to B doesn't mean A and B 
share the same assumptions about managing the pointer.
