Runtime: O JIT deve reconhecer um padrão de verificação de tipo popular

Encontrei o truque em @GrabYourPitchforks https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/pull/20386
O JIT pode reconhecer o padrão e gerar código otimizado para tipos selados.
`` `C #
[MethodImpl (MethodImplOptions.NoInlining)]
public static int Is (object obj)
{
if (obj is string str)
return str.Length;

        return 7;
    }

    [MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.NoInlining)]
    public static int As(object obj)
    {
        string str = obj as string;

        if (str != null)
            return str.Length;

        return 7;
    }

    [MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.NoInlining)]
    public static int SafeUnsafe(object obj)
    {
        if (obj != null && obj.GetType() == typeof(string))
            return Unsafe.As<string>(obj).Length;

        return 7;
    }

E para economizar rax seria bom ter

cmp      qword ptr [rcx], 0x7FFE960AF500

ao invés de

mov      rax, 0x7FFE960AF500
cmp      qword ptr [rcx], rax
