That sounds as a cool idea to discuss as a completely separate,
unrelated RFC, and not specific to UString.

e.g.   $obj = (ClassName)$arg;   /* turns into */ $obj = new ClassName($arg);

So you could use casting with any class which supports single-argument
constructors.

But again, orthogonal to this RFC.
