Description

@phobologic had a good idea - forcing a type on a lookup.

This would allow you to cast things on the fly:

Example:

${force_type <value>::<type>}

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how stacker handles variable lookups and add a force type function that casts the value to the specified type. Look at existing lookup implementations in the codebase.
