@item @emph{Description}:
Interprets the bit pattern of @var{SOURCE} as a variable of the
same type and type parameters as @var{MOLD}.
Interprets the bitwise representation of @var{SOURCE} in memory as if it
is the representation of a variable or array of the same type and type
parameters as @var{MOLD}.
This is also known as @emph{casting} one type to another.
This is approximately equivalent to the C concept of @emph{casting} one
type to another.

@item @emph{Return value}:
The result has the same type as @var{MOLD} with the bit level
representation of @var{SOURCE}.
The result has the same type as @var{MOLD}, with the bit level
representation of @var{SOURCE}. If @var{SIZE} is present, the result is
a one-dimensional array of length @var{SIZE}. If @var{SIZE} is absent
but @var{MOLD} is an array (of any size or shape), the result is a one-
dimensional array of the minimum length needed to contain the entirety
of the bitwise representation of @var{SOURCE}. If @var{SIZE} is absent
and @var{MOLD} is a scalar, the result is a scalar.
If the bitwise representation of the result is longer than that of
@var{SOURCE}, then the leading bits of the result correspond to those of
@var{SOURCE} and any trailing bits are filled arbitrarily.
When the resulting bit representation does not correspond to a valid
representation of a variable of the same type as @var{MOLD}, the results
are undefined, and subsequent operations on the result cannot be
guaranteed to produce sensible behavior. For example, it is possible to
create @code{LOGICAL} variables for which @code{@var{VAR}} and
@code{.NOT.@var{VAR}} both appear to be true.
