StringCastable example from README not working

[plu]

export class File implements StringCastable<File> {
    constructor(public path: string) {}

    // This is required by the StringCastable interface, but it's never called.
    cast(source: string, context: CastingContext<File>): Promise<File> {
        console.log('This is never called');
        return new Promise(() => {});
    }

    // But this is actually called.
    static cast(source: string, context: CastingContext<File>): Promise<File> {
        console.log('This is actually called');
        return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
            resolve(new File(Path.resolve(context.cwd, source)));
        });
    }
}

I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong here: The StringCastable forces me to implement cast(source: string, context: CastingContext<File>): Promise<File>, which is then never even called. The static one is actually being called. And unless I implement the static one, I get a runtime error:

Error: TypeFilecannot be casted from a string, seeStringCastableinterface for more information

Thanks for addressing this. StringCastable should be the type of the constructor instead of the instance. So implements StringCastable should be removed from the example.

Thank you, this wasn't clear to me, I'm still new to TS.

I really love clime and the API it provides, great work you have done here!
