This actually won't work because technically wxWindow and wxFrame are both
base classes of MainWindow. The difference is the number of "hops" between
them. For example, wxWindow is further away from MainWindow in the
inheritance diagram than wxFrame, but I don't think there is any way to
measure this at compile time.

Looks like I may just have to suck it up.
