There's nothing more frustrating that instantiating a C++ type on the stack
like
MyType foo;
and having to call a function with:
static_cast<Base&>(foo).someVirtualMethod();
because "The base class is the interface" and all the
overriding methods are marked private.
This is just adding bureaucracy for absolutely no good reason and doesn't
help *anyone*.
