many frameworks available. All of those provide libraries that people

approved, at first, because there is already a "clearer" method for doing
something like that. Which for me, particularly, does not invalidate an
alternative.
My suggestion is to create a magic method like __cast(AllowedTypes $in)

conversions into or from other types. The From trait always succeeds,
and TryFrom can fail. However, it's not a "cast" -- the user calls an
