Sure, but how the engine will knows when it should __cast()?

For instance, when method(Type $variable) will call Type::__cast() for
$variable, or just work with the Type instance?

In this case, is not better I create an interface (like IsCollection)
and call $variable->getCollection()?

Thanks!
