Downcast is the old good name.
"cast" is so vague. I would assume cast<A>(B) means: { return (A)B; }

I suggested the name; my inspiration was the boost::polymorphic_downcast
function template. I also like the way a name ending with the word cast fits in
with the family of static_cast, dynamic_cast, and reinterpret_cast.
