How is that less bloat?
Having all of any_cast (dynamic_cast which always throws on error), any_unsafe_cast (static_cast), any_downcast (static_cast with debug checks) and finally any_test_cast (dynamic cast that can return null) doesn't seem like bloat to you?
I only suggested to have two. For a majority of cases, static_cast can be replaced with XX_dowcast() that does a debug check. -Thorsten
