The object can always use introspection to choose the right method

That said, static types are indeed almost superfluous from the
functionality point of view. The only situation when they can't be
replaced by ids without any problems are -- slightly incorrect, but
possible -- messages with same name, but different signatures, like
@interface Foo
-(int)blah;
@end
@interface Bar
-(double)blah;
@end
Now, [(Foo*)x blah] and [(Bar*)x blah] are compiled differently.
