No. In your example you could also declare x with the desired type 
instead of Object, and use cast.

As proposed before, an additional feature could be implemented: allowing 
'assert x instanceof A' statements to be taken into account by the 
typechecker. Tests like 'if (x instanceof A)' are already handled.

In general, casts should be be exceptional, so making them shorter is 
rather a non-goal...
