In gcc/g++ 2.6.3 and 2.7.2 (probably all versions so far), the cast syntax
type1(type2(expression)) is not understood, if there is another parenthesis
before type1; e.g.
	(int(short(x)) + 23);
If one of the two types is enclosed in parentheses (as in the old C syntax)
or the outer parentheses are missing, it is accepted, e.g.
	((int)(short(x)) + 23);
