    Parameters:
    
    typeDefinition - The type to which a value should be casted.
    
    Returns:
    
    A stack manipulation that represents the casting.
  - apply
```
public StackManipulation.Size apply(org.objectweb.asm.MethodVisitor methodVisitor,
                                    Implementation.Context implementationContext)
