* Often you have to cast an implementation pointer, e.g., |this|, to an

* |static_cast<nsIBase*>(this)|; but that disguises the fact that what
* you are really doing is disambiguating the |nsISupports|. You could make
* that more obvious with a double cast, e.g., |static_cast<nsISupports*>
(* static_cast<nsIBase*>(this))|, but that is bulky and harder to read...

* The following macro is clean, short, and obvious. In the example above,
