At that point could you make
`org.hibernate.persister.entity.EntityPersister` extend
`org.hibernate.metadata.ClassMetadata` ?

I understand the method just returns itself, but from an SPI user
point of view I otherwise have to cast.
The current method reassures me that this is safe to do.

Thanks,
Sanne
