Comment (by anevilyak):

 Replying to [comment:9 bonefish]:
 > All available types may be *a lot*, particularly when large libraries
 are involved. So free form with autocompletion would be nice (I would keep
 it simple first -- just typename + `*`s -- can be improved later). Very
 nice would be direct options to cast to the actual subclasses of the
 object (the interesting part is deducing the actual type of the object),
 since that is something that comes up often. Moreover a standard cast is
 pointer to array, at least for C/C++. Which reminds me, that the type cast
 feature needs to be source language driven, i.e. `SourceLanguage` needs to
 provide the cast options that make sense and also needs to be involved in
 parsing the free form input.

 Sounds good! Added to TODO list.
