.as?(....)

1

Hello.

I’m typing a lot of   ( b?.c()?.d() as? C)?.doSomething() commands

I would like to type something along b?.c()?.d().as?(C)?.doSomething()  to be able to include the safe cast to C in a command pipeline instead

Is this possible ? I think that it might require some syntax support at the language level, right ? (as C is a class name)

Here's an example of implementing such a cast as an extension function:

fun <R: Any> Any?.cast(): R? = this as R?
