Well, I think it’s a step forward by making type(of:) *like* a stdlib function. Now we need to change .Type and .Protocol syntax to something like Type<T>, AnyType<T> and also fix the way it behaves in a generic context to finally open up Type for custom type names. This should also help removing .self.

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:).

Errors are flagged from within concrete base classes and also within protocol extensions. error: cannot invoke 'type' with an argument list of type '(of: Self)' let newObject = type(of: self).init() Has this changed?? Are we supposed to create dynamic types a different way now?
