--------------------------------------

             Summary: Allow casting of entities and complex type instances to arbitrary structural type
                 Key: ODATA-1003
                 URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-1003
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: OData URL Conventions
    Affects Versions: V4.0_ERRATA03
            Reporter: Hubert Heijkers
            Priority: Minor


Currently we allow casting, by means of a type segment, which implicitly filters or, in expressions in our query options, by using the cast function.
Whereas the cast function allows, optionally, casting to an arbitrary structured type, there is no way to request for an instance of a type and have it, before returning it, be cast to a different arbitrary, typically sibling (read: same base type) type.
