//  This defines CastValueChecker which models casts of custom RTTIs.
//
// TODO list:
// - It only allows one succesful cast between two types however in the wild
//   the object could be casted to multiple types.
// - It needs to check the most likely type information from the dynamic type
//   map to increase precision of dynamic casting.
