	This is exactly what it is.

	No, that would be evil.  Instead we properly cast the objects.

wc.hIcon = static_cast<#the type it needs#>(LoadIcon( hInst,  \
IDI_APPLICATION));

Where #the type it needs# is something like HICON or somesuch.  If
'static_cast' does not work, then use 'reinperpret_cast'.
