This feels a lot like C++ operator overloading... I'm not a fan of _as_parameter_, but maybe an "as foo_t" kind of attribute that it would use every time it needed to convert it to a foo_t (not just as a parameter, but in assignment, etc.) Certainly something like this could be useful, but I'm not sure if it's needed.
