Currently WIP
Any impl of MainCast<Base=QObject> seems to cause a conflict with the blanket implementation and the generated implementation of Upcast, which is perplexing given the trait bounds, but it does seem to only be QObject.
Testing with QAbstractListModel shows that lib types can work with this code.
Additionally, with one trait impl, it is only possible to combine 2 levels, e.g. A->B ^ B->C => A->C, and additional impls would be needed to extend this to the desired 5 or 6 levels of casting.
Code in cargo_without_cmake example shows the functionality of the transitive casting.
