I have a general principle that not all warnings should be fixed,
especially when it comes to sparse.

The aim is not to get to zero warnings - it's to get to a point where
the code is correct, and plastering the code with __force casts means
it isn't correct - you're just masking the warning.

So no, I really don't like this. And I really don't like seeing
__force being used in open code in casts.
