Given:
	public void foo(ISelection s) {
		(IStructuredSelection)s;
	}
1. Select '(IStructuredSelection)s'
2. Ctrl+1
Is:
 No extract to local variable is available
Should:
 Extract to local resulting in

IStructuredSelection ss= (IStructuredSelection) s;

Same for all ExpressionStatements. This is one of the major pain points for me in the JDT, really, I would like to have this fixed for 3.5
