After I started to alter my graphics engine to use the multiple kinds of bitmaps (now using multiple language features, like templates and aliases) on one layer, I noticed that type detection of bitmap objects would be easier and better readable, if instead of:

if(bitmapObject.classinfo == typeof(Bitmap4Bit)){
...
}else if(bitmapObject.classinfo == typeof(Bitmap8Bit)){...

I could easily use this:

switch(bitmapObject.classinfo){
case typeof(Bitmap4Bit):
...
case typeof(Bitmap8Bit):
}

On the other hand I cannot really think other uses for such language feature, maybe with structs.
