Note: update

added:

The follow commands are run using FriCAS
\begin{axiom}
)version
\end{axiom}

changed:
-This command causes a "memory may be damaged error"::
-
-  !\begin{axiom}
-  cast1(1)$CAST
-  \end{axiom}
This command used to cause a "memory may be damaged" error::

\begin{axiom}
 cast1(1)$CAST
\end{axiom}

changed:
-This command also causes a "memory may be damaged error"::
-
-  !\begin{axiom}
-  cast2(1)
-  \end{axiom}
-
This command also used cause a "memory may be damaged" error::

\begin{axiom}
 cast2(1)
\end{axiom}

This is an example of using pretend to perform a type unsafe operation.

The follow commands are run using FriCAS

   There are no library operations named cast2 
      Use HyperDoc Browse or issue
                               )what op cast2
      to learn if there is any operation containing " cast2 " in its 
      name.

   Cannot find a definition or applicable library operation named cast2
      with argument type(s) 
                               PositiveInteger

      Perhaps you should use "@" to indicate the required return type, 
      or "$" to specify which version of the function you need.
