Functions

0 = Sunday, 1 = Monday, etc.

[Inherited from  Any]
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:


NYI: IMPROVEMENT: #5892: If this is fixed, we could write

 => 
Type
[Inherited from  Any]
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.
the millisecond of this datetime
 => 
String
[Inherited from  Any]
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.

There is no dynamic type of a type instance since this would result in an

Type.type here.

[Inherited from  Type]
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.


it is most useful in conjunction with preconditions or `if` statements as in

NYI: Redefinition allows the type feature to be distinguished from its normal counterpart, see #3913

redefines:

 => 
Type
[Inherited from  Any]
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`.

Applicable universe features

These are features in universe, that have an argument with a type constraint that matches this features type and can therefore be used with it.

memoize `f`.
wraps f so that f will only be called once for every unique input.

The term "memoization" was coined by Donald Michie in 1968 and
is derived from the Latin word "memorandum" ("to be remembered"),
usually truncated as "memo" in American English, and thus carries
the meaning of "turning a function into something to be remembered".
