OK, where in the standard does it say it is illegal?

Again, where in the standard does it say that?

Arguments that just make assertions without citation don't hold much water.
I cannot find anything that says conversion from "void *" to "obj *" cannot
round up.  In fact,I cannot find anything in the standard that says
      free((void *) (object *) malloc(sizeof(object)))
will work: the standard only says that
      free(malloc(sizeof(object)))
will work.  Please tell me what section I have overlooked or stop saying
the standard already has things that I cannot find.
