equatable_switch
equatable_switch
Wrapper type to make a `switch` of an equatable elements itself equatable.
Type Parameters
Functions
returns o if outcome is ok, otherwise return the outcome's own
error.

synonym for infix >>=
this switch as an equatable_switch
converts switch into a list of either a single element in case
switch.this.exists or `nil`otherwise
switch.this.exists or `nil`otherwise
convert this switch to an outcome
dynamic_apply -- apply `f.call` to `Any.this`'s dynamic type and value
This can be used to perform operation on values depending on their dynamic
type.
Here is an example that takes a `Sequence Any` that may contain boxed values
of types `i32` and `f64`. We can now write a feature `get_f64` that extracts
these values converted to `f64` and build a function `sum` that sums them up
as follows:

Get the dynamic type of this instance. For value instances `x`, this is
equal to `type_of x`, but for `x` with a `ref` type `x.dynamic_type` gives
the actual runtime type, while `type_of x` results in the static
compile-time type.
There is no dynamic type of a type instance since this would result in an
endless hierarchy of types. So for Type values, dynamic_type is redefined
to just return Type.type.

unwraps a switch that is known to contain a value
this can only be called in cases where it is known for sure that this switch
is not nil. A runtime error will be created otherwise.

otherwise just return this switch.
get A or cause an `exception T`
unwraps an switch if it exists, returns default value otherwise.
short-hand postfix operator for '!exists'
short-hand postfix operator for 'exists'
convenience prefix operator to create a string from a value.
This permits usage of `$` as a prefix operator in a similar way both
inside and outside of constant strings: $x and "$x" will produce the
same string.

This can only be called in cases where it is known for sure that this
switch is not a B. A runtime error will be created otherwise.

return function
Get a type as a value.
This is a feature with the effect equivalent to Fuzion's `expr.type` call tail.
It is recommended to use `expr.type` and not `expr.type_value`.
`type_value` is here to show how this can be implemented and to illustrate the
difference to `dynamic_type`.
