Avoid down casts (GL)

If the compiler supports dynamic_cast<>, always use it in preference to any other mechanism.

Although it is not always possible, avoid use of all downcasts. Downcasting is casting a pointer of a base class to a pointer to a derived class.

For Unix, always assert that the cast is valid (see "X::downCast()" below).
