+Prefer C++-style casts
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+When casting, use ``static_cast``, ``reinterpret_cast``, and ``const_cast``
+rather than C-style casts. The sole exception to this is when casting to void to
+suppress warnings about unused variables (as an alternative to
+``[[maybe_unused]]``), when C-style casts should be preferred instead.
+
 Do Not Use ``using namespace std``
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
