I have a small question: why aren't interfaces implicitly convertible to
Object?
Not all interfaces »originate« from D objects, they can also be COM
interfaces. Using (cast(Object)foo) should work if foo is really an
Object.
All Com interfaces inherit from IUnknown. This is statically known.
The idea that we cannot tell which interfaces are COM and which are normal
is a myth.
There is no reason why interfaces (that aren't COM) shouldn't be
implicitly castable to Object.
