+
+    <p>Pointers to polymorphic objects (objects of classes which define at
+    least one virtual function) are sometimes downcast or crosscast.
+    Downcasting means casting from a base class to a derived class.
+    Crosscasting means casting across an inheritance hierarchy diagram, such
+    as from one base to the other in a <code>Y</code> diagram hierarchy.</p>
+
+    <p>Such casts can be done with old-style casts, but this approach is
+    never to be recommended. Old-style casts are sorely lacking in type
+    safety, suffer poor readability, and are difficult to locate with search
+    tools.</p>
+
+    <p>The C++ built-in <code>static_cast</code> can be used for efficiently
+    downcasting pointers to polymorphic objects, but provides no error
+    detection for the case where the pointer being cast actually points to
+    the wrong derived class. The <code>polymorphic_downcast</code> template retains
+    the efficiency of <code>static_cast</code> for non-debug compilations, but for
+    debug compilations adds safety via an assert() that a <code>dynamic_cast</code>
+    succeeds.</p>
+
+    <p>The C++ built-in <code>dynamic_cast</code> can be used for downcasts and
+    crosscasts of pointers to polymorphic objects, but error notification in
+    the form of a returned value of 0 is inconvenient to test, or worse yet,
+    easy to forget to test. The throwing form of <code>dynamic_cast</code>, which
+    works on references, can be used on pointers through the ugly expression
+    &amp;<code>dynamic_cast&lt;T&amp;&gt;(*p)</code>, which causes undefined
+    behavior if <code>p</code> is <code>0</code>. The <code>polymorphic_cast</code>
+    template performs a <code>dynamic_cast</code> on a pointer, and throws an
+    exception if the <code>dynamic_cast</code> returns 0.</p>
+
+    <p>A <code>polymorphic_downcast</code> should be used for
+    downcasts that you are certain should succeed.  Error checking is
+    only performed in translation units where <code>NDEBUG</code> is
+    not defined, via
+<pre>  assert( dynamic_cast&lt;Derived&gt;(x) == x )
+</pre> where <code>x</code> is the source pointer.  This approach
+    ensures that not only is a non-zero pointer returned, but also
+    that it is correct in the presence of multiple inheritance.
+    Attempts to crosscast using <code>polymorphic_downcast</code> will
+    fail to compile.
+    <b>Warning:</b> Because <code>polymorphic_downcast</code> uses assert(), it
+    violates the One Definition Rule (ODR) if NDEBUG is inconsistently
+    defined across translation units. [See ISO Std 3.2]
+</p><p>
+    For crosscasts, or when the success of a cast can only be known at
+    runtime, or when efficiency is not important,
+    <code>polymorphic_cast</code> is preferred. </p>
+
+    <p>The C++ built-in <code>dynamic_cast</code> must be used to cast references
+    rather than pointers. It is also the only cast that can be used to check
+    whether a given interface is supported; in that case a return of 0 isn't
+    an error condition.</p>
