At 9.30 you can see the switch used on a type type :-) You can see a
similar example here:
http://golang.org/src/pkg/exp/datafmt/datafmt.go Look for the line
switch t := fexpr.(type) {

That isn't a type type. Untested D code
void fun(T, U)(T op, U y) {
switch(typeof(y)) {
case "immutable(char)[]":
case "int":
}
}
Actually the uses are not equivalent. A closer example is:
class A {}
void main() {
Object a = new A;
switch (typeid(a).name) {
case "object.Object":
writeln("it's an object");
break;
case "test.A":
writeln("yeah, it's an A");
break;
default:
writeln("default: ", typeid(a).name);
break;
}
}
Go stores the dynamic types together with objects, so what looks like a
simple typedef for int is in fact a full-fledged class with one data
member. Those objects are stored on the garbage-collected heap.
