+Summary: Error while casting a struct to an interface
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+> I got a compiler error telling that I cannot convert a struct to an
+> interface through casting. The struct actually implements the 
+> interface
+> and I try to cast it directly (although the 'as' way doesn't work
+> neither): 
+> 
+> ISomeInterface isObject = (ISomeInterface) isObject;
+> 
+
+
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Try to do a casting from a struct to an interface that the struct
+implements. 
+
+Actual Results:
+You cannot cast.
+
+Expected Results:
+I should have an instance of the interface which is the struct instance
+casted to the interface.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always.
+
+Additional Information:
+
+More info on mono-list. Ask me for source code for testing this if you want.
