It's about correctness, we don't have much choice here. The current data 
structure simply cannot work correctly because there's a "one vs many" problem 
in it: for every pair of types (T₁, T₂) there are *many* possible outcomes of a 
cast from T₁ to T₂ (depending on the object that's being casted) but the 
current data structure only has room for *one* such outcome. Your data 
structure is basically saying "Oh, this shape turned out to be a circle, let's 
from now on forever believe that triangles don't exist" (?)
