• "Boolean"

• "Number"
  

• "RegExp"

• "String"

• "Hex"

The following coercions are valid:

• Strings can be coerced to numbers (integers or reals) and regular expressions. If the string is not parsable as a number, the result is null. The empty string parses as 0.
• Numbers can be coerced to strings. 
• Regular expressions can be coerced to strings.
• Any expression can be coerced to Boolean.
• null and false can be coerced to 0, and true can be coerced to 1
• Hex values must match the regex /^[A-F0-9]+$/

An error is thrown for other attempted coercions, unless the value being coerced by as() is already of the target type.
