Description

Right now we can do this sort of thing to create a Set...

def mySet = [1, 2, 2, 4] as Set

It would be nice to support SortedSet in the same way...

def mySortedSet = [1, 2, 2, 4] as SortedSet

I have attached a patch that I think gets this done. I am not sure if there are already tests somewhere that cover the as operator. My test method is in CastTest.groovy but of course could be dropped just about anywhere.
