// DownCasting, with or without Declaration

//  DownCasting to a "Handle" already declared
#define GetCasted(atype,start)  Handle(atype)::DownCast(start)

//  DownCasting with Declaration :
//  - Declares the variable result
//  - then performs DownCasting
//  - after it, result can be used as a new variable
