How would you see this working? We've added mechanisms so that they 
have a similar look and feel. Do you want to be able to cast from one 
to the other?

foo = someArray
List l = (List) foo

?

I'd like to add a mechanisms for types to be able to decide how they 
coerce to other types; though I'd assume a cast (or the 'as' operator) 
would be used to do the coercsion. e.g.

List l = someArray as List
