Aside from the uses of auto and the lack of tests, this LGTM.

Aside from all the other places that do exactly that (getAs<>, cast<>, 
dyn_cast<>, castAs<>, and so on). Generally, when we have a function named get 
that takes a template type argument, the result when seen in proximity to auto 
is the template type.

I slept on this one and fall on the other side of it; using auto hides 
information that tripped up at least one person when reading the code, so don't 
use auto. It's not clear enough what the resulting type will be.
