Thanks, that is much better. However sparse don't know how to handle it yet.

/tmp/typeof.c:11:64: warning: incorrect type in assignment (invalid types)
/tmp/typeof.c:11:64:    expected unknown type 11 <noident>
/tmp/typeof.c:11:64:    got int

classify_type does not know how to handle SYM_TYPEOF yet.
Let me see if I can make it to work.
