Pete, I think I bludgeoned this to death in a previously posting. My
apologies, but having had to fight long and hard for the retention of VAL, I
get a tad defensive on the issue. Apologies.
It may cheer you to learn that the ISO draft describes a VAL that should be
able to be safely used for all reasonable conversions. Type transfers
(aka casts) are now SYSTEM.CAST, but the old form TypeName(object) is
considered 'deprecated'.
