Roy Fielding commented [2] that he felt the macros tied the interface to the implementation too much, and Greg Stein replied [3] that they had to be done as macros, not functions, because of the need to pass a type name for the cast.

IIUC, these are not typesafe?

See the apr optional function and hook apis for true typesafe
casts.
