-as-Any
regressed some ObjC generic extensions, since going from a genericT
toAny
naively would require the type metadata ofT
. SinceT
is always class-constrained currently, we can avoid this by erasing the type toAnyObject
and building anAny
around it instead. There are also some cases where we unnecessarily raised the error on assignments and dynamic casts, preventing some workarounds for cases we don't yet support.
