Pre-emptive MSVC fixes for cast.hpp?

I haven't run into these problems with cast.hpp myself, but it has been
demonstrated numerous times that MSVC fails silently at link time if you use
a template function which has template parameters that don't appear in the
function's argument list. Enclosed is a proposed pre-emptive fix for that
problem. Does anyone see a problem with it, or (better still) can someone
prove that it's unneeded?

Thanks,
Dave
