Of course another problem with option 5 is that you lose all type checking, so the compiler cannot warn you when you confuse the string types, plus it requires ugly casts. Better avoided IMO.
I have to agree, even if in listview.c I used this technique. I did manage to avoid the ugly casts, and the compiler warnings are not really a problem (for various reasons), but it required careful coding, and at the end of the day, I don't think I would want it generalized in other parts of the code, despite it working to our advantage in the listview.c case. The pitfalls are not worth the trouble in general.
