True, but then we're stuck in a typecasting game where I need to cast "c" back
to TMyClass. :) I probably brought this up years ago and forgot but Objective-C
has an "id" type which is "can assign to any class type". It seems like
something that would be standard for OOP but I don't recall ever seeing it in
Pascal or C++.
