Thanks Lars and Bearophile, I will give it a try. I understand that static downcasting is dangerous. But there are places where efficiency is paramount and you are sure that the casting is safe. So I wholeheartedly second your proposal to have the stuff in phobos.
Be aware that blindly casting interfaces is not a good idea. An interface pointer is offset into the object and the cast *must* be dynamic.
Casting objects from one class to another should be reliable, however. -Steve
