Given the statement var x = (String) null; Source > Cleanup by default removes the (String) cast, because it sees this cast as unnecessary, given the inferred type of x as String. However, removing this cast gives an error that the type is not known: var x = null; // "Cannot infer type for local variable initialized to 'null'"
