subject casting
code
object BUG_Unit {
     var x : Int = ().as[Int];
}

// what happened to the cast method ".as" ?
what happened
BUG_Unit.scala:2: identifier expected but 'as' found.
     var x : Int = ().as[Int];
                      ^
one error found
what expected a runtime error (ClassCastException), not a compile time error. Martin: This is a syntax change in Scala. `as' and `is' are now keywords, not standard methods.
