Martijn,

It is great to see this sort of enthusiasm.

As a reviewer for similar efforts in the past, I note that it can help 
to group changes by the amount of analysis needed for each change. For 
example, changes to remove redundant casts are pretty easy to do, and to 
review, but other changes might need more analysis, especially anything 
involving method signatures.
