That's really scary. dynamic_cast is for casting up and down class 
hierarchies, which is one use which reinterpret_cast is *not* suitable for 
(but usually will work by coincidence if you happen to only use single 
inheritance). You want static_cast for unsafely casting up/down class 
hierarchies, and you basically *need* to use dynamic_cast if you can't tell 
at compile time how to "get there from here".
