Matthew Flatt 8bd5dbf7cc ffi/unsafe: change `cast' to avoid pitfalls for you
The old `cast' didn't work right for a mismatch between
a pointer GCableness and the source or target types, and
it didn't work right for an GCable pointer with a non-zero
offset. While those pitfalls were documented, the first
of them definitely has been a source of bugs in code that
I wrote.

Also added `cpointer-gcable?'
