Summary:
Using the last version of swift (Xcode 7.1.1) it is not possible to compare the dynamicType with a Type.self

Doing this won't work:
`"".dynamicType == String.self`

If however I save `"".dynamicType` to an intermediate variable and then compare it, it works:

let x = "".dynamicType
x == String.self
