Mind elaboratong why you think we need to force the cast? That seems
to take away some of the appeal of the solution.

Btw, the above is an example of why I'm still a bit reluctant on the
"as" syntax. The line above would really benefit from parentheses:

    if ( (v as error) == Error::Success )

Yeah, agree, that's part of the question what namespace to use.
"Broker::Success" would certainly be nicer.
