    Why cast to a |void*| first?  Well, when old-style casting from
    a pointer to a base to a pointer to a derived class, the cast will be
    ambiguous if the source pointer type appears multiple times in the
    destination, e.g.,
    
      class Base {};
      class Derived : public Base, public Base {};
      
      void foo( Base* b )
        {
          ((Derived*)b)->some_derived_member ... // Error: Ambiguous, expand from which |Base|?
        }

    an old-style cast (like |static_cast|) will change the pointer, but
    here, doesn't know how.  The cast to |void*| prevents it from thinking
    it needs to expand the original pointer.

    The cost is, |NS_REINTERPRET_CAST| is no longer appropriate for non-pointer
    conversions.  Also, mis-applying |NS_REINTERPRET_CAST| to cast |this| to something
    will still expand the pointer to the outer object in standards complying compilers.
