#' Atomic and List Type Casting With Names and Dimensions Preserved
#'
#' @description
#' Type casting usually strips away attributes of objects. \cr
#' The functions provided here preserve dimensions, dimnames, and names,
#' which may be more convenient for arrays and array-like objects. \cr
#' \cr
#' The functions are as follows: \cr
#'
#'  * \code{as_bool()}: converts object to atomic type \code{logical} (\code{TRUE, FALSE, NA}).
#'  * \code{as_int()}: converts object to atomic type \code{integer}.
#'  * \code{as_dbl()}: converts object to atomic type \code{double} (AKA numeric).
#'  * \code{as_cplx()}: converts object to atomic type \code{complex}.
#'  * \code{as_chr()}: converts object to atomic type \code{character}.
#'  * \code{as_raw()}: converts object to atomic type \code{raw}.
#'  * \code{as_list()}: converts object to recursive type \code{list}. \cr
#' 
#' `as_num()` is an alias for `as_dbl()`. \cr
#' `as_str()` is an alias for `as_chr()`. \cr
#' \cr
#' See also \link[base]{typeof}. \cr \cr
#' 
#'
#' @param x an R object.
#' @param ... further arguments passed to or from other methods.
#'
#'
#' 
#'
#' @returns
#' The converted object. \cr \cr
