Research direction

The issue proposes a cast.ToReflectValue function for reflect type casting but names no implementation file or test. Start by reviewing the existing cast package APIs and how reflect.Value is represented in Go. Done should include agreed casting semantics and tests covering the supported inputs and returned reflect.Values.
