The name is not set in stone. I like as since it is short, to the point and it is not available unless we import it from the scala.compiletime. A suggestion during the LAMP meeting was to call it inlineAs.

After #23773, we should be able to write valueOf[h].as[T]

@eejbyfeldt I wasn't sure if you would be okay to include you as a co-author of the commit? Let me know and I will amend it.
