It'd be quite useful to have a possibility to write "typeOf(foo)" along with "typeOf[Foo]". A superficial experimentation session doesn't show any problems with typeOf[T] and typeOf[T](x: T) coexisting.

Inspired by http://blog-mno2.csie.org/blog/2011/12/24/what-are-data-dot-typeable-and-data-dot-dynamic-in-haskell/.

On a semi-related note, symbolOf wouldn't hurt either

The linked pull request exposes a problem with having the desired method named typeOf. We need to think of a better strategy or of a different name. But for now I'm abandoning that pull request.

Unfortunately, progress on this one is blocked by #8303: xeno-by/scala@619dd6b. Maybe third pull request will be the charm.

Marking this one as critical, so that I don't forget to look into it.
