Currently you can call 'to' on a const/immutable/shared object and have it
converted to a mutable type. I think 'to' should provide safer conversions. In
terms of pointers this is already true.

The patch below does a few things.

* Will not conflict with the implicitlyConverts version of to.
* Objects can be cast to types of the same qualifier
* Qualifiers can be changed based on the implicit rules ( immutable -> const)
* Casts are prevent for unsafe operations such as mutable <-> immutable

See assertions for more details.
