Syntax
currentype varname;
Semantics
Will return the current type of the variable.
Note: If a variable is used within a type context then this is assumed to be shorthand for the current type of that variable
Note: This is a static construct and hence only available during compilation. It must be statically deducible and not used in a manner that is dynamic.
Example
var i: Int; var q:currentype i;
Will declare q to be an integer the same type as i.
