Although a cast would be safe in this case, verifying that it's safe
requires too much thinking. I want a knowledgeable reader to be able to
look at just that line of code and trivially say "yeah, that's benign"
while muttering a few choice words about clueless compilers.

How about replacing "+" with "~~"? That is, something like the first
attached draft patch.
