local number = 1
local value = number :: any -- ok, 'number' is a subtype of 'any'
local flag = number :: boolean -- not ok, invalid 'number' to 'boolean' conversion
local numericValue = 1
local value = numericValue :: any -- ok, all expressions may be cast to 'any'
local flag = numericValue :: boolean -- not ok, invalid 'number' to 'boolean' conversion
