Generics for methods

Not able to find much info in the spec for this. Coming from C# I can do things with generics such as...

class A
{
  var _list = new List<B>();

  T add<T>(){
    if(T is B){
      var newT = new T();
      _list.add(newT);
      return newT;
    }
  }
}

abstract class B
{

}

class C extends B
{

}

main(){
  var a = new A();
  var c = a.add<C>();
}

However this doesn't seem supported in Dart; am I missing something?
