I'm kind of waiting for the next obscure fallout. The original version
has easy to understand handling. It works without cast for one common
use case (passing indices) and needs a reinterpret_cast in the other
(passing pointers). Now we are trying to do both and play whack-a-mole.
There is no technical reason really for prefering void * and in fact a
couple of them for prefer a plain integer. Lack of potential trap
representations for example. I maintain that going back to the original
state is actually the better situation.
