Decorator for automatically casting string inputs to their most likely Python data types.

This implementation runs ``ast.literal_eval()`` on all inputs. This is simple and reliable, but fairly slow, and therefore probably inappropriate for code that must run fast.

This decorator uses `wrapt `__ to enable signature-preserving decoration.

.. code:: python

    from autocast import autocast

    

    @autocast

    def my_function(arg):

        print(type(arg))

        

    >>> my_function('3')
