Agreed: while I can sort-of see why one might want to use something
like this for bounds checking, casting to an integer is definitely
acceptable (and we've got things like KASAN and fortify-source for
many bounds-checking cases anyway).

Also, many languages explicitly treat pointers as not being comparable
this way anyway, and rely on casting to integer, which is a trend
worth following, I think.
