Did you just reinvent downcasting in C++?  If so, C++ already has  
that feature!?  As for C, C, I'd claim C already has that feature[1],  
you merely have to put in a #define into your library to make it look  
pretty.  In C, since this is a library issue, the compiler would be  
the wrong place to put the feature.  Since it can be done with a  
macro, there is little need to change the grammar of the language.


1 - Contentious, should be decided by C committee IMHO.
