I ran into a problem applying this to the iemgui (footils/knob and
moonlib/mknob both use the iemgui API). Basically, in iemgui, the
use "t_iemgui x_gui" instead of "t_object x_obj". x_gui then has
"t_object x_obj". That means adding an extra layer:
atom_getsymbol(binbuf_getvec(x->x_gui.x_obj.te_binbuf)),
I always use pointer casts so that I don't have to think about the name of
the magic prefixes used to access superclass fields. OTOH this makes it
easier to make type mistakes, in theory, but I haven't seen that happening
much in practice for this kind of cast.
Using a cast, you can take any subtype of t_object, and no matter how it
decides to call its t_object part, and no matter how many levels of
nestedness it takes, you always get to the t_object part by casting like
(t_object *).
