What does that line mean in ObjectScript?

This is a line in class MonCache.DB of this project:

s fieldsNames = ##class(MonCache.Types.Object) modificationOperator.getNames()

It is the first time I see that... Is that a cast, by any chance?

@jonrsharpe yes; however in this syntax there are no spaces between ##class(...) and the argument – fge
"Note that whitespace can be inserted or omitted almost anywhere in Caché ObjectScript" – jonrsharpe
@jonrsharpe you can certainly understand that nobody recalls each and everything they have ever read; and the first link you point to does not explicitly mention that spaces are allowed there – fge
I don't expect you to recall anything, let alone everything; why bother given that you can look it up as needed? However I would expect you to research, particularly given your rep. I've never even used ObjectScript and still found both of those links with a few seconds on Google. – jonrsharpe

It's method casting and whitespace does not matter in this particular context.
