  Well no, it wouldn't ... This is an aspect of the language with
which you are expected to be familiar. It doesn't make sense that this
information be repeated everywhere it could be used, right? This isn't
even Objective-C; it's just a pointer:

id obj = ...some class instance
(MyClassyClass *)[obj doSomethingSpecificToMyClassyClass]

  Same as your int cast example.
