Why not allow equality operators to operate on types?
Generally because of parsing problems.
What kind of problems? All types fit into the expression grammar well
enough. (pointer types should require parentheses in order to simplify
parsing)
The parser can already parse this:
static if(int.min == (int*).min) { }
It should be trivial to adapt it so that it can parse this:
static if(int == (int*)) { }
(in essence, stop requiring the scope resolution after everything that
unambiguously looks like a type. The current behaviour is inconsistent
anyway.)
