type.convert(Type)

Given a type, returns a TypeObject that will coerce values to that type.

import { Reflect, type } from "can/everything";

let date = new Date();
let val = Reflect.convert(date, type.convert(Date));
console.log(val); // date

val = Reflect.convert("12/14/1933", type.convert(Date));
console.log(val); // Date{12/14/1933}
