In my mind I was replying in the context of the named symbol being a function, but I neglected to state that condition. > I suspect the real reason it says "cast" is because a lot of people refer to any conversion as a "cast" and a cast as an "explicit cast". If that were the reason, I would expect the related text in RETURN VALUE to say "cast" as well.
