convert(value, Type)

convert attempts to convert value to the type specified by Type.

import canRefect from "can-reflect";

canReflect.convert("1", Number) //-> 1

convert works by performing the following logic:

1. If the Type is a primitive like Number, String, Boolean, the value will be passed to the Type function and the result returned.

   return Type(value);
   

2. The value will be checked if it is already an instance of the type by performing the following:
   1. If the Type has a can.isMember symbol value, that value will be used to determine if the value is already an instance.
   2. If the Type is a isConstructorLike function, instanceof Type will be used to check if value is already an instance.
3. If value is already an instance, value will be returned.
4. If Type has a can.new symbol, value will be passed to it and the result returned.
5. If Type is a isConstructorLike function, new Type(value) will be called the the result returned.
6. If Type is a regular function, Type(value) will be called and the result returned.
7. If a value hasn't been returned, an error is thrown.
