Ok, I understand. I'm writing at the moment code like:
       .......
       (*casts)[make_pair(Type::FloatTy, Type::DoubleTy)] = 
                    NM::FTOD;

and I think I'd rather like to eliminate that (*casts) part, and make_pair, 
but while assign library can eliminate (*casts), I'm not sure it can do much 
about 'make_pair'. Or it can....?
