Int i= ("Int") object

[marstran]

So you get a string containing a type-name, and you want to cast an object to that type?

[marstran]

If so, you would have to do something like this (unless you use reflection):

when(typeName) {
    "Int" -> object as Int
    "String" -> object as String
    // List all types you want to cast to.
    else -> object
}

i do not see the point there.. afaik as Type does not change anything in the object
so at some point it would get bunched together again as Any and nothing is gained
unless you want to have your ClassCastException thrown exactly there
