does anyone know whether this is safe to do in click ?

class Foo : public Element { ... }
class FooBar : public Foo { ... }

Foo::some_method() {
    Element downstream;
    downstream  = output[0].element();

    if ( dynamic_cast<Foo>(e) ) {
	... e is a foo ...
    } else {
	.... e is not a foo ...
    }
}

I currently have no linuxkernel installation, so I can't check for this
case, but I see potential breakage, since this requires a bit of
compiler magic.
