How do I convert `pulumi.Output&lt;any&gt;` to `pulumi.Output&lt;string&gt;` when getting an output from a `StackReference`?
```const infra = new pulumi.StackReference(`infra`);
const dbUser = infra.getOutput("dbUser"); // is of type pulumi.Output&lt;any&gt; but should be pulumi.Output&lt;string&gt;```
do I really have to do this?:
```const dbUser = infra.getOutput("dbUser") as pulumi.Output&lt;string&gt;;```
