I did it for a colleague who works with Sharepoint and who were very happy with this.

You just put in a ton of effort to get rid of 4 characters per invocation. Usually lazy is good, but that doesn't seem like the smart kind of lazy.

It'll probably take you years of writing .Cast<T>.LINQ() before you catch up to the amount of effort you just put into this.

I don't know how many places in your code use non-generics, but it seems like the best thing to do would have been to wrap those references to non-generics with something that'll do the .Cast<T> for you. Then it'd work for anything outside LINQ too.
