Mark Mentovai 48b1964d1b Use implicit_cast<> instead of static_cast<> whenever possible.
implicit_cast<> only performs a cast in cases where an implicit
conversion would be possible. It’s even safer than static_cast<> It’s an
“explicit implicit” cast, which is not normally necsesary, but is
frequently required when working with the ?: operator, functions like
std::min() and std::max(), and logging and testing macros.

The public style guide does not mention implicit_cast<> only because it
is not part of the standard library, but would otherwise require it in
these situations. Since base does provide implicit_cast<>, it should be
used whenever possible.

The only uses of static_cast<> not converted to implicit_cast<> are
those that require static_cast<>, such as those that assign an integer
constant to a variable of an enum type.
