I _really_ don't understand where you're coming from here.  I'd be 
interested to see some example of code where an invalid downcast were a bug 
and where a failed cast _should_ throw an exception.  I've only ever used 
downcasts in D as a replacement for Java's "instanceof", where it's just a 
simple typecheck.
