This situation is acceptable. In unlikely case that cast is indeed bad
you will get runtime error instead of compile error. But it would be a
benefit if abort message would de improved by defining intermidiate
macro while will pass __LINE__ and __FILE__ to bad_cast_real which will
use it to tell developper where there is a problem
