cast<R> method
Makes this iterable useful as an Iterable<R>
, if necessary.
Like retype except that this iterable is returned as-is
if it is already an Iterable<R>
.
It means that someIterable.cast<Object>().toList()
is not guaranteed
to return precisely a List<Object>
, but it may return a subtype.
Implementation
Iterable<R> cast<R>() {
Iterable<Object> self = this;
return self is Iterable<R> ? self : Iterable.castFrom<E, R>(this);
}
