There are lots of casts in the Whirlwind code now. We should work hard to avoid
casts, to let the typechecker actually do something for us. There are a few
well-defined places where I think we need casts (e.g. casting from the ith
member of the list of dataflow predecessor nodes to a particular kind of node,
based on the type of the target node), but I see a bunch of casts that I think
can be avoided.
