The preserved word "as" is used in `import as` and is explained in the docs. I can't seem to find its use in `anObject as aClass`. And it is not the simplest word to search for. Am I missing something?

You can use `import net.wifi as mywifi` to make the `wifi.open` available as `mywifi.open`. The default prefix is the last segment of the imported path (unless the path starts with `.`).

That is exlained in the docs. But I meant the "as" that seems to do some sort of type casting. I saw you added this in your "services" post :

`return (client_ as RandomServiceClient).roll_die handle_`

Oh. Yeah. I completely misread your question 🙂

`as` is similar to `is`, but it casts and generates a runtime error if the given object does not implement the given interface.

So you get a runtime check (unless we can optimize it away).

OK, I hadn't expected this explanation in the topic on operator precedence.
