[chuck-users] what is the syntax for casting an array of objects?

Here's a self-contained example that demonstrates what I mean:

class Obs {}
class SubObs extends Obs {}

fun void count(Obs elems[]) { <<< elems.size() >>>; }

// works...
[(new Obs), (new Obs)] @=> Obs @ x1[];
count(x1);

// works but is really ugly..
[(new SubObs) $ Obs, (new SubObs) $ Obs] @=> Obs x2[];
count(x2);

// Doesn't work: needs casting.  but what's the syntax?
[(new SubObs), (new SubObs)] @=> SubObs @ x3[];
count(x3);
