Thanks for this - I had a patch on my stack to do the same thing,
but did I it this way:

diff --git a/db/type.c b/db/type.c
index 3cb1e868..5433bcfb 100644
--- a/db/type.c
+++ b/db/type.c
@@ -219,6 +219,8 @@ type_f(
 		} else {
 			if (iocur_top->typ == NULL)
 				dbprintf(_("no current object\n"));
+			else if (iocur_top->typ == tt)
+				return 0;
 			else {
 				cur_typ = tt;
 				set_iocur_type(tt);

which I guess I like a little better than using strcmp on the argument...
it compares the type structure directly, rather than comparing the names.
