>Description:
	The compiler admits static_cast to convert from a derived class to
	a private base class: See code below.  


#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Base
{
   public:
      Base() : _data(999) {}
      int  Data() const {return _data;}
   private:
      int _data;
};

class Derived : private Base
{
   public:
      Derived () : Base() {}
};


int main(void) {
  

   Derived* d1 = new Derived;
   Base* b1 = (Base*) d1;
   int i = b1->Data(); 
   cout << "We got it: " << i << endl;

   
   Base* b2 = static_cast<Base*>(d1);
   int j = b2 -> Data(); 
   cout << "We got it: " << j << endl;

}
