Most Iterable extensions don't work with implicit-casts: false about supercharged HOT 6 CLOSED

I used the past time to re-read everything about generics in dart and experimented a bit. Now I have a better understanding on what's going on.

I learned that this. is obiviously unnecessary and causes problems (dart loses generics type information when using this).

I made some changes 700ea4a
Can you verify that it's the way to go?

Thank you for the information. I will look into that topic and try to fix all code while having implicit-casts: false

I fixed all analytic errors that happend when having implicit-casts: false. Changes are pushed to master branch. Do you have the opportunity to verify it?

I am afraid this does not solve the problem and I may not have explained it correctly.
I also don't think the changes in 74ff727 are needed.

The problem may only occur with the List<T> to Map<K, V> extensions groupBy and associate*.

Your extension Iterable_<T, K, V> declares 3 generics types but only one is known from the source iterable (T). K and V are actually unknown, and if those can not be inferred the compiler will just cast it (with implicit-casts: true).

Of course one can always cast the results of groupBy for example but instead the function should have the K and V generic type arguments to help the compiler infer the resulting type groupBy<K, V>.

This looks good, thanks!

Now we just need a way of calling extensions function on null receivers in Dart for more Kotlin magic. :)

Great! Thank you for your help :-)
