Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Template expression can be used for more intuitive typecasting

Describe the solution you'd like Instead of current solution, which a bit complex / not intuive

cast ChatMember(client.Parameter)

a template is proposed (similar to C#)

client.Parameter :as ChatMember

Similar

client.Parameter :of ChatMember

is analogue to:

client.Parameter.instanceOf(ChatMember)
