Thanks! I've taken the liberty of reformatting this into a table.
Given the naming discussion, I think there's one important part to
highlight here: For anonymous classes, this returns just "class@anonymous",
not "class@anonymous\0SOME_RANDOM_UNIQUE_STRING_HERE". Thus this
functionality certainly can't be under a ::type construct (which should
return the full name), and even get_canonical_type() seems inappropriate.
This function is specifically useful for including type names in error
messages or similar, thus get_debug_type()...
