Description

In preparation for index_t, the cast either needs to be removed or it needs to be set explicitly to index_t. I vote for removal unless it's unsupported.

Review PR #4198 and locate the cast discussed in this issue, then check how the surrounding code handles the planned index_t type. Done means removing the cast when supported, or setting it explicitly to index_t otherwise; run CI after the #4198 merge.
