Detailed Description

Provides casting utilities for safe type conversions and CRTP-based self-casting.

This file contains utilities for safe type casting, including a CRTP base class that provides integrated casting via As<T>() method. It also includes a free function CastHelper for safe casting between types.

Typical usage:

1. Derive from Castable<T> to enable self-casting in your hierarchy.
2. Use As<T>() to safely cast to the desired type.

Note

• The CastHelper function is designed to be used in debug mode for safety checks.
