Return a `shared_ptr<TO_TYPE>` object sharing ownership of the same object as the specified `source` shared pointer to the (template parameter) `FROM_TYPE`, and referring to `static_cast<TO_TYPE *>(source.get())`. Note that if `source` cannot be statically cast to `TO_TYPE *`, then a compiler diagnostic will be emitted indicating the error.
