I just realized one thing worth changing. So this is how I implemented it,
essentially it’s a case-of-ClassType, which means the compiler now has: case of
ordinal, case of string and case of classType.
c := TInterfacedObject.Create;
case c of
TObject: result := 1;
TInterfacedObject: result := 2;
TAggregatedObject: result := 3;
otherwise result := 4;
end;
But because I did an implicit “c.ClassType” it wouldn’t be possible to use
“nil” as a case. Maybe not a big deal because you can capture nil in
“otherwise” but it’s something to consider.
