Description
**Your Godot version:**
4.0.stable
**Issue description:**
Casting.
It seems that this part in the docs is wrong:
```gdscript
# For built-in types, they will be forcibly converted if possible, otherwise the engine will raise an error.
var my_int: int
my_int = "123" as int # The string can be converted to int.
```
If you try to do this right now in Godot 4.0.stable, you will get an Error.
```Cannot cast a value of type "String" as "int"```
