Reduce errors

[nickl-]

Increase cast scope, makes types more compatible and less reason to complain. Fixed box types should init as null and not with default values. Fixed return values from typed variables and fields after assignment, not the assigned value. Added string repeat through * STAR operator, as per lists and arrays repeat. Fixed unable to assign null through invocable field. Reduced cast complexity which in turn improves method matching.
