Pimp instanceOf() with varargs

Use case:
Type A has numerous sub types K, L, M, etc. I need to query for a subset of sub types.

To add comfort it'd be really helpful if com.mysema.query.types.path.BeanPath.instanceOf(Class<B>) offered something like an overloaded method instanceOf(Class<B>...).

Currently I use something like

private BooleanExpression buildTypePredicateFor(Class<? extends A>... types) {
  BooleanExpression predicate = QA.a.instanceOf(types[0]);
  for (int i = 1; i < types.length; i++) {
    predicate = predicate.or(QA.a.instanceOf(types[i]));
  }
  return predicate;
}

I'd prefer instanceOfAny(Class<?>... types) since it could be also interpreted wrongly.

Sure, sounds good. And for the inverse I can simply add .not(), right?

Yes
