type assertion in convert

[jishnub]

Since something similar is implemented on Julia nightly now, it seems to be the preferred way forward. After this, the following is inferred:

julia> @inferred (x -> convert(OffsetArray{Float64,2,Matrix{Float64}}, x[1]))(Any[zeros(1,1)])
1×1 OffsetArray(::Matrix{Float64}, 1:1, 1:1) with eltype Float64 with indices 1:1×1:1:
 0.0

This may help with inference downstream. Mildly breaking if T(x) doesn't return an object of type T, but then the conversion fails anyway, so this may be considered a bug. It's better to error if the conversion fails.
