Forced casting with unknown
I can't think of any realistic situation where it is advisable to do this. Since certain TypeScript error messages suggest using this approach for resolving type assertion errors, it has been included for the sake of reference.
If you find yourself forced casting as a means of resolving a TypeScript compilation error, you are most likely contradicting TypeScript's own automated inference and defeating the benefits of using TypeScript over JavaScript.
