(mdb) print (object)ok
Type System.Object is not a class type.
(mdb) print (int)ok
Type System.Int32 is not a class type.
(mdb) print (string)ok
Type System.String is not a class type.
(mdb) print (Stream)ok
Variable ok is not a class type.
(mdb) quit


Now, the error trying to cast to (int) might be correct, but "object" and
"string" are definitely class/object types, and they should at least
attempt to cast (and find that "ok" is not of a class type, like the cast
to Stream does).

There are also syntax errors when trying to cast to (type[]) or
(type*).  the grammar needs augmenting.

The biggest problem with casts not working is the CastExpression's
reliance on ITargetClassType/ITargetClassObject for the type/value in
the expression.  This of course won't work for languages without
classes, and even in the mono backend case, some types aren't
represented by MonoClassType (strings and fundamental types are all
represented by other, non ITargetClassType types).
