"Fixing" libmesh shouldn't be our concern here. We HAVE to be able to
reliably dynamic cast. If the compiler isn't going to give that to us
that's a non-starter.
This isn't just a "make it work on OSX" moment. We shouldn't have to change
any valid code just because Apple has a bug in their compilers.
