Smart numeric conversion casts that resolve the issue of should I write (int) or a static_cast by being a better choice than both

Smart numeric conversion casts that are correctly applied using the C style cast syntax, have appropriately verbose and descriptive names and are more strongly typed and resilient to coding errors than a static_cast. In debug builds, exceptions will catch conversion overflows. In release builds, they have zero overhead.
