Type casting (was: `Word' data type)_(re)

Oh :} Sorry :} I briefly glanced at it, and what I saw was, for example:

TYPE
  ShortInt = __byte__ Integer;
  Byte = __unsigned__ ShortInt;
VAR
  AVar : Integer;
  ASmallVar : Byte;
BEGIN
  ASmallVar := BytePtr(AVar)^;
END.

Something like that...

What I meant was type casting using custom types, not with built-in or
pre-defined types. If it already does this, sorry again :}
