Review Comment:
   Should this be 
   
   ```suggestion
       canUpCast(fromType, toType) || toType == StringType
   ```
   ?
   
   We can cast anything to a string but we can't cast arbitrary strings to 
arbitrary types.

Review Comment:
   Should we also add a test case which _is_ expected to be nullable? Maybe 
something like `cast("abcdef", IntegerType)`?
