You can turn off all "as" output in the cross-compile via -skipAsCoercions compiler option. Then you shouldn't need @flexjsignorecoercion. And then you use @flexjsemitcoercion where you actually need it.
Introducing new keywords makes me nervous, but I am not opposed to it. Nor do I want to be the person who implements it.
