That was a good idea. Now I am using such a template function. In future I plan to replace all dynamic_cast<>s by such functions: a) "instance_of<>" for tests, where the result of dynamic_cast<> was used to test. b) "assert_cast<>" for real conversions during runtime. This function will throw an exception if the cast fails. Thank you!
