I am therefore proposing it as an addition to Boost, and
will simply stuff it down to the bowels of boost::threads::detail::mac or
something if nobody else sees value in it.
Its purpose is to convert anything to anything, and it looks like this:
// force_cast will convert anything to anything.
template<class Return_Type, class Argument_Type>
inline Return_Type force_cast(const Argument_Type &rSrc)
{ return(*reinterpret_cast<const Return_Type *>(&rSrc)); }
<snip>
Is there any interest in this?

Yep, I like it.
Yours,
