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

function void main() {
   var i: Int;
   var q:currentype i;
};

Will declare q to be an integer the same type as i.
