Also, Nim's runtime type information will evolve and may eventually be deprecated. As an alternative approach to programmatically understanding and manipulating types, consider using the <a class="reference external" href="macros.html">macros</a> module to work with the types' AST representation at compile time. See for example the <a class="reference external" href="macros.html#getTypeImpl,NimNode">getTypeImpl proc</a>.
