 C is an aggressive language as it provides conversions among almost all of the basic types, even when the conversion is potentially unsafe or not meaningful, \ie @float@ to @bool@.

 In \CFA, the meaning of a C style cast is determined by its @Cast Cost@. For most cast expression resolution, a cast cost is equal to a conversion cost.
