Yes, you can freely use Foo/unFoo. There's no runtime penalty. (In the

When does the conversion to type-safe casts occur relative to other
optimizations (namely, rewrite rules)?
That is, I know that rewrite rules operate on the source language not on
Core, but to what extent does that mean that type-safe casts inhibit the
firing of rules?
