Type Conversion support?

[javi1818]

Im super excited about listener and I started to play around with it. Im wondering if type conversion like type(value) is currently supported in any way? I tried something like string(Slice) and it failed:
🔴 Not callable
╭─[main.lis:28:11]
27 │ let contents = io.ReadAll(file)?
28 │ let s = string(contents)
· ───┬──
· ╰── expected function, found string
29 │ Ok(contents)
╰────
help: Only functions can be called with () · code: [infer.not_callable]

Thanks for giving it a spin! You're looking for the as operator, documented here.

let contents = io.ReadAll(file)?
let s = contents as string

I might add a diagnostic to surface this more clearly.
