I just thought of another idea.

Can I perhaps use some sort of custom function for this purpose?

For example:

context.createPathAndSetValue("/myCastFunc(\"/dataArray[1]\",
\"TheChild\")/varString", "quack");

... or something like that, where "myCastFunc" is a custom-written
function that will take the supplied xpath and cast it to the class
named as the second argument.

Would something like this work for me?
