Can't cast to a @:generic type parameter

this forum post got me thinking about this

This looks like it should work, since C is known at compile-time:

@:generic function doCast<C>(v:Any, c:Class<C>):C {
	return cast(v, C);
}

Currently, it fails with Can't cast to a type parameter, just like without @:generic.

I just had this issue. In general, @:generic type parameters don't work like I'd expect them to, only specializing at compile-time for types it's actually used for (like C++)
