Do you have a member named ‘type’ in the current scope?

We changed the behavior of type(of:) so that it behaves like a normal 
declaration in the Swift module instead of a special keyword. Unfortunately 
this means if you have a ‘type’ already visible in scope, you have to fully 
qualify Swift.type(of:).
