Is this a class object and you are trying to determine at runtime which 
derived type it is and perform an action based on that? Or are you 
trying to switch on the type of a concrete item?

It should technically be possible to use the fully qualified name to 
switch on, but I don't think typeid(Type1).name is usable as a switch label.
