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.

only useful operation is the corresponding `prefix |`
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.

Is this type assignable to a type parameter with constraint `T`?
The result of this is a compile-time constant that can be used to specialize
code for a particular type.

say (is_of_integer_type 1234) # true
say (is_of_integer_type 3.14) # false

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`.

alias of `a.abs`
Due to the low precedence of `|`, this works also on expressions like `|a-b|`, even
with spaces `| a-b |`, `|a - b|`, `| a-b|` or `|a-b |`.
Nesting, however, does not work, e.g, `| - |a| |`, this requires parentheses `|(- |a|)|`.
