unnecessary_cast

Unnecessary cast.

The analyzer produces this diagnostic when the value being cast is already known to be of the type that it's being cast to.

The following code produces this diagnostic because n is already known to be an int as a result of the is test:

void f(num n) {
  if (n is int) {
    (n as int).isEven;
  }
}

Remove the unnecessary cast:

void f(num n) {
  if (n is int) {
    n.isEven;
  }
}
