Type equality in Scala

Question

Here is a little snippet of code:

class Foo[A] {
  def foo[B](param: SomeClass[B]) {
  //
  }
}

Now, inside foo, how do I:

Answer 1

As a side note, generalized type constraints aren't actually necessary:

class Foo[A] {
  def foo_subParam[B <: A](param: SomeClass[B]) {...}
  def foo_supParam[B >: A](param: SomeClass[B]) {...}
  def foo_eqParam[B >: A <: A](param: SomeClass[B]) {...}
  def foo_subMyType[Dummy >: MyType <: A] {...}
  def foo_supMyType[Dummy >: A <: MyType] {...}
  def foo_eqMyType[Dummy1 >: MyType <: A, Dummy2 >: A <: MyType] {...}
}

In fact, I prefer this way, because it both slightly improves type inference and guarantees that no extraneous runtime data is used.
