I want to write a function which can dispatch on the type as well as on an instance of it. I tried the following: struct mytype end f(Union{Type{mytype},mytype}) = 42 f(mytype) f(mytype()) Is there a better way of doing this?

Match a type or an instance of it

I don’t see how it could get any simpler.

Note, however, that this is generally discouraged style.
