The cast is a noop (reinterpret_cast) and therefore not a price payed in 
performance. The cast is safe as long as you don't use multiple inheritance. 
So never expect the following to work:

class APrivate
{
};

class A
{
	Q_DECLARE_PRIVATE(A)
};

class B
{
};

class CPrivate : public APrivate
{
};

class C : public B, public A
{
	Q_DECLARE_PRIVATE(C)
}
