This is a joke, right? Your trivial implementation isn't even correct.

Is this one better? It does run and doesn't rely on casting (not sure why GP's source took that route, it was lossy and kind of dumb). I suspect the compilation problem was because of a change in the syntax between when that was created and today.

yeah, it's just old. the `~int | ~float32 | etc` syntax is relatively recent.
