I would even prefer that, since I don't see myself as having collisions
with it, but I really do feel it should be a conversion method.  When
you want a component, you say anObject asComponent, when you want a
description, why not anObject asDescription?  The description isn't a
property of the object, it's a different representation of it, a meta
representation.
