It is actually a little more sneaky than that. However, until changes
are made (I believe some ref overloads are planned for 1.33), casting a
ptr-to-any always returns a ptr-to-the-real-type and casting a
ref-to-any always returns a COPY of the real-type, or throws an
exception if the conversion can not be done.
