Exactly. In languages where everything comes from Object, they're usually 
either dynamically typed or they have the equivalent of dynamic_cast<>. 
Otherwise, it wouldn't really be useful.  Handy when you want to do 
something like "Print this array of objects with that string as the format 
specifier" a la printf.
