[PATCH 2/2] typeof keyword

[Florian Westphal]

Allows to do this:

table filter {
    set foo {
        type typeof(osf name);
    }
    map bar {
        type typeof(osf name) : typeof(meta mark);
    }
    map baz {
        type typeof(osf name) : typeof(ct helper);
    }
}

Problem is that listing such a table produces "type string" -- it
can't be restored.

Use in concatenations doesn't work either.
