Manual type conversion would certainly work. But at the end of the test,
the World object would be left in its changed state unless you reset it
in Tear_Down (you'd maybe want to initialize it in Set_Up).

If you were going to do that, you could get a similar effect by
declaring the object globally (in the test package body).
