Only two features I know of to do with instanceof is :
1) the live template 'inst' which will create the if clause with a
declared variable
2) an intention on an if (o instanceof Foo) { } clause which creates a
variable declaration for you within the braces.

Unless there's anything else I'm missing, sounds like you've landed on a
good idea for an intention for the case where you have an unchecked
cast, and want to surround it with a check.

Why not write your own template ?
