3/// A trait for checked and unchecked casting between JS types.
4///
5/// Specified [in an RFC][rfc] this trait is intended to provide support for
6/// casting JS values between different types of one another. In JS there aren't
7/// many static types but we've ascribed JS values with static types in Rust,
8/// yet they often need to be switched to other types temporarily! This trait
9/// provides both checked and unchecked casting into various kinds of values.
10///
11/// This trait is automatically implemented for any type imported in a
12/// `#[wasm_bindgen]` `extern` block.
13///
14/// [rfc]: https://github.com/rustwasm/rfcs/blob/master/text/002-wasm-bindgen-inheritance-casting.md
