From: cpriest@zerocue.com (Clint Priest)

This has already been covered quite a bit, the problem with your suggestion=
 is that the compiler needs to determine the type it is cast to, which is w=
hy the __toInt(), __toArray(), etc, so that the language can request the ty=
pe it needs to cast to.
