// casting of pointers and references.

// In casting between different C++ classes, there are a number of
// rules that have to be kept in mind in deciding whether to use
// static_cast or dynamic_cast.

// a) dynamic casting can only be applied when one of the types is polymorphic
// Otherwise static_cast must be used.
// b) only dynamic casting can do runtime error checking
// use of static_cast is generally un checked even when compiled for debug
// c) static_cast would be considered faster than dynamic_cast.

// If casting is applied to a template parameter, there is no apriori way
// to know which of the two casting methods will be permitted or convenient.

// smart_cast uses C++ type_traits, and program debug mode to select the
// most convenient cast to use.
