Having miles of compiler warning spam is not helpful though, so we need
to tailor the warning set to those which are actually useful for a
particular project. In this case, X uses the same data structures to
hold both string constants and allocated memory. I can think of lots of
fixes for this, but simply sticking a cast in the free parameter seems
the least invasive to me, while preserving most of the checks. Having to
hack around the -Wcast-qual check with an intermediate cast to
(uintptr_t) seems silly.
