It depends on your binding and DOM implementation, no?

For example, in the JSC bindings for WebKit, static_cast<I*, V.toImpl()> would
be returned in many cases.

In the WebIDL-based Spidermonkey bindings for Gecko, UnwrapDOMObject<I>(V)
would be returned in many cases.

In the old XPIDL-based Spidermonkey bindings for Gecko,
static_cast<I*,JS_GetPrivate(V)> would be returned in many cases.

Basically, you return whatever your DOM implementation internally considers to
be "an instance of I".  For the C++ DOM implementations mentioned above, that
would be a pointer to whatever object type the implementation considers to
implement the interface I internally.  But what you want to return just depends
on your implementation.
