<div>That's worrisome. type is such a common identifier that I
worry its going to break a lot of code, create some confusion and
force the un-esthetic qualifying.</div>

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

<div class="">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’
