Glad you like it Jony :-) And thanks for your contributions. There are a few things we'll be working on before putting out the first non-alpha release. In particular, better casting error handling options, some safer casting function helpers, improved testing coverage (already well underway, thanks to @ballPointPenguin who's been helping out), and a couple more transformation functions. Once that's ready, I'll send out another announcement.
Thanks again.
