The merit of any idea shouldn't be dependant upon how the idea popped
into the person's head.
Irrespective of whether it's a good idea to be able to 'lock' and
'unlock' a binary_semaphore, it is sometimes useful to be able to
treat an object of Base as though it were an object of Derived
(assuming they're 100% compatible).

I guess we just see the world differently, and that’s okay.
