That code silently assigns null if the type doesn't match, instead of erroring — a bug that can hide for a long time. This warning depends on PR 123232, so expect…

PR 123243 from DexterFstone fixes code completion so it correctly suggests subclasses for inherited classes — a gap that likely sent developers hunting for symbols the editor should have surfaced.
