Function returning the type of its argument.
It is not possible in Haskell, moreover it seems to be too alien to Haskell. Nevertheless, is there an extension which would allow to write a function that returns the type of its argument?

Sounds like you want typeOf. http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/base/latest/doc/html/Data-Typeab... But be sure you *really* need this (or ask us if in doubt). -- Roman I. Cheplyaka :: http://ro-che.info/

What sort of problem are you trying to solve? For the most part, Haskell types are known statically at compile time.
