Hello, when I declare a typealias, am I supposed to be able to discriminate between the alias and the aliased type in a when expression?

adolev: There is no way to determine whether its the typealias or the type itself. if you have a

typealias UserName = String

, you can pass a

String

when a method expects a

Username

OK, thanks! I was just wondering, if it was the case, how the type information was retained at runtime. This makes it a lot simpler 🙂
