One more useful use is with OOP (this is GUI code):


import core.stdc.stdio;
class Control {}
class Slider : Control {}
class Button : Control {}
void main() {
    Control c = new Button;
    switch (typeof(c)) {
        case Slider: printf("A"); break;
        case Button: printf("B"); break;
        default: // probably a Control
    }
}



That is similar to this (but faster):

import core.stdc.stdio;
class Control {}
class Slider : Control {}
class Button : Control {}
void main() {
    Control c = new Button;
         if (cast(Slider)c)  { printf("A"); }
    else if (cast(Button)c)  { printf("B"); }
}
