Not quite.  That assigns check_type to NULL, rather than the intended
assignment of ptr.

But the idea has merit; I'll see if I can come up with a variant that
still evaluates ptr only once, by wrapping the type check in a sizeof hack.

How many warnings?  If it's only a handful, we should start
investigating; if it's lots, then I'm not sure how much it buys us.
