create an option from a lazily evaluated value depending on this bool
as human readable string
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:

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.

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.

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.

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`.

We need to apologize to George Boole for crippling his name a bit,
just to safe us from typing one more letter. But at least we stop
here and do not use boo, bo or similar.
bool is a choice type that can either be true_ of false_.
Note that 'true_' and 'false_' themselves are not of type 'bool'.
Routines 'true' and 'false' are the preferred way to get a constant
value of type 'bool'.
