+`as` operator can also be used in the `if` predicate to test if an object can be casted to a specific type, once the cast test is successful,
+the object can be used in the `if` block as the casted type without the need to retrieve the `Optional<T>::value` property:
+```csharp
+interface IFoo
+{
+ void foo();
+}
+
+struct MyImpl1 : IFoo
+{
+ void foo() { printf("MyImpl1");}
+}
+
+struct MyImpl2 : IFoo

+}
+
+struct MyImpl3 : IFoo
+{
+ void foo() { printf("MyImpl3");}
+}
+
+void test(IFoo foo)

+ // This syntax will be desugared to the following:

+ // if ($OptVar.hasValue)
