  I have used multiple inheritance. I haven't needed dynamic_cast<> (nor
any other cast for that matter).

  dynamic_cast<> is one of those casts which you just shouldn't use (ok,
not that; what I mean is that you should almost never use downcasting;
downcasting is generally bad).
  The other casts you should never use are const_cast<> (used just as a hack
for dealing with old bad-designed libraries) and reinterpret_cast<> (which
is mainly used for low-level hacking).
