Nothing technical, really. Just the complexity of the system,
and the options available to the coder.

I guess I'm addicted to having infinate control and power over the system.
For the most part I will never cast void pointers, but if I need to,
then I sure don't want to be restricted. Same goes for random access
into files and other nasty things. Maybe it would be good to
have a language that won't let me, for my own sanity..
