That's not true. They can also come from IUnknown or a C++ interface.
This is also not true. Only interfaces derived from IUnknown point to a
COM object. Only interfaces marked as extern(C++) can point to a C++
object.
Any interface that is purely D MUST point at a D object that derives from
Object, EVEN D-defined COM or C++ objects (the latter doesn't really
exist).
His code should compile IMO.
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!
As stated above, this is not possible.
