interface D

class A : D

  int foo();

According to:
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/model.html

A theA = new A();

theA points to memory block like this
offset  contents
------  --------
0:      pointer to vtable
4:      monitor
8...    non-static members

D theD = (D)theA;

How is theD implemented?
