Casting is a workaround for the problems of static typing.  Smalltalk 
(and thus Squeak) is dynamically typed and therefore doesn't need 
casting.  What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Variables aren't typed, so you don't need casts for that.  And if the 
object behaves like a string, then you just call string methods on it. 
If it doesn't, you'd have to implement those methods just the same as 
you would in Java.

Perhaps you could post a code snippet?
