Not "expert" input, but the table under Specific Warnings and  
Suggested Actions :: Microsoft is barely readable for me (Firefox  
3.6.8). Can't the columns in row i have the same width as the columns  
in row j for all i,j?

On the issue of a casting between signed and unsigned types (error  
4244 in VC), I am a bit concerned I am missing something. Why is there  
significant discussion about choosing which cast to make the warning  
go away? I am labouring under the impression that boost::numeric_cast  
was invented to do those conversions?
