That's not true. They can also come from IUnknown or a C++ interface.
Ok, that's a good reason!
cast(Object)(foo).toString();
(cast(Object)foo).toString() might work
This might return null tho if it is a non-D object through the interface!
Yes, I later discovered that I didn't understand the cast syntax
properly. This does indeed work, but leads to the discovery that
Object.toString() is not pure. :( But that's tolerable. Also,
declaring toString() in the interfaces avoids the need for a cast
entirely, although I feel this is a bit of a dirty hack.
