Is there any generic version of toArray() in Guava or Apache Commons Collections?

What I'm looking for is a generic version of `Object[] java.util.Collection.toArray()` or a less verbose alternative to using `T[] java.util.Collection.toArray(T[] array)`. I can currently write: ``` Collection<String> strings; String[] array = strings.toArray(new String[strings.size()]); ``` What I'm looking for is something like: ``` @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") public static <T> T[] toArray(Collection<T> collection, Class<T> clazz) { return collection.toArray((T[]) Array.newInstance(clazz, collection.size())); } ``` which I can then use as: ``` String[] array = Util.toArray(strings, String.class); ``` So is anything like this implemented in Guava or in Commons Collections? Of course I can write my own (the above), which seems to be as fast as toArray(T[] array).
