This is more of an Xbase question. With Xbase casting is done with
using "as", i.e., "obj as Double". But if you try that, you'll notice
it warns you that the cast is unnecessary. Xbase knows obj must be of
type Double in that context. How smart is that? :-P

Thank you. Using "as" works.
The automatic detection however doesn't.

Phillip,
I think the automatic detection is new to Xtext 2.5.1 (or maybe new to
the ongoing 2.6 development), i.e., it's a new feature of Xbase.
