These are all casts that convert a function pointer into a void*. It's not
really a reinterpret_cast issue, but rather the need for a way to convert
function pointers to a single type (specifically, void*, I guess, but it might
work to use some generic function pointer type instead).

I'd prefer that we come up with a way of doing this other than sprinkling the
C-style casts in -- something easier to search for later. Maybe a template
function like this:

    template <typename T> void* function_pointer_cast(T functionPointer) {
return (void*)functionPointer; }

And then later we could change it to work only with function pointers if we can
get that to happen. Not sure about the name, but I'd like to avoid having to
modify so many different sites to deal with this.
