In Virgil, casts are written "type.!(expr)". Casts between numbers check ranges and roundability (for float<->int conversion). Reinterpreting the bits is written "type.view(expr)" and ignores signs, looks at the raw float bits, etc. edit: a cast will throw an exception if it fails, in case that was not clear from context.
