Type casting with arrays does not work

[serkonda7]

Description and Reproduction Steps

args := ['abc.txt', 'foo.md', 'bar.md']
md_files := []string(args.filter(fun (a string) bool {
	return a.ends_with(".md")
}))

for file in []string(md_files) {
}

Current Behavior

first snippet:

error: expression evaluated but not used

second snippet:

error: unexpected lpar, expecting lcur

Expected Behavior

No errors.

Possible Solution and Additional Information

It's planned to unify the casting syntax to var as Type.
Thus fixing this issue before is not advisable.

Type casting on arrays should actually be forbidden except for matching type aliases:

type Arr := []i32

fun x(a Arr){
	println(typeof(a))
	println(a)
}

fun main() {
	n := [1,2] as Arr
	x(n)
	x([1,2] as Arr)
}
