No absolutely not. Magic typing is the work of the devil. You force the 
author to cast an untyped LHS and bomb out if the cast fails - at 
compile time for constants, runtime for dynamics:

if ('10.254.0.0/16'::ipaddress contains &NAS-IP-Address)

if (&Tmp-String-0::ipaddress ...)

OT: remind me why & is now a thing in front of unlang attribute names, 
as opposed to defining barewords as attributes?
