Search for "Case statement for class introspection” and you see can the little
discussion we had about a potential speed up and why it wasn’t viable so for
now it’s just using a if-else statement with A.ClassType = B.ClassType
comparisons. It’s just syntactic sugar at this point but it was trivial to
implement and I think it’s much nicer to work with so for me that’s a total win.
