Given the naming discussion, I think there's one important part to highlight here: For anonymous classes, this returns just "class@anonymous", not "class@anonymous\0SOME_RANDOM_UNIQUE_STRING_HERE". Thus this functionality certainly can't be under a ::type construct (which should return the full name), and even get_canonical_type() seems inappropriate. This function is specifically useful for including type names in error messages or similar, thus get_debug_type()... Nikita
