I'm not sure what I think of this idea.  There are a few difficulties - some
operations would have to check whether an interface reference references a
struct or class object.  And so casting even to Object would have to have a bit
of runtime overhead to validate it.

Moreover, I'm not sure if the necessary conversion of the struct from value
semantics to reference semantics are likely to cause confusion for some/in some
circumstances.

Actually, it was once said that feature requests shouldn't be posted on this
particular Bugzilla, but the policy seems to have faded away lately.  I'm not
sure.
