Well, it's one piece of a puzzle. In itself it already is better than 
having to cast every time. Combined with a way to pass those variables 
to other functions safely, it should solve practically all the 
remaining problems that currently require a cast. But I don't have nice 
a solution for the later problem (short of adding more attributes).
