I believe it's official syntax. It's not (quite) documented in the developer 
documentation, but I assume it's in the clang docs somewhere. Here's an actual 
line of code, as a more familiar example:

        NSIndexSet* selectedIndexes = [listView.selectedRowIndexes 
indexesPassingTest: ^BOOL (NSUInteger rowIndex, BOOL* stop) {…}

I'm not sure it's worth letting the compiler figure out the return type, and 
casting is always a potential bug because it always suppresses a compile time 
type check.
