+TypeTest
+--------
+
+`TypeTest` provides a replacement for `ClassTag.unapply` where the type of the argument is generalized.
+`TypeTest.unapply` will return `Some(x.asInstanceOf[Y])` if `x` conforms to `Y`, otherwise it returns `None`.
+
+```scala
+trait TypeTest[-S, T] extends Serializable {
+  def unapply(s: S): Option[s.type & T]
+}
+```
+
+Just like `ClassTag` used to do, it can be used to perform type checks in patterns.
+
+```scala
+type X
+type Y <: X
+given TypeTest[X, Y] = ...
+(x: X) match {
+  case y: Y => ... // safe checked downcast
+  case _ => ...
+}
+```
+
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+Given the following abstract definition of `Peano` numbers that provides `TypeTest[Nat, Zero]` and `TypeTest[Nat, Succ]`
+
+```scala
+trait Peano {
+  type Nat
+  type Zero <: Nat
+  type Succ <: Nat
+  def safeDiv(m: Nat, n: Succ): (Nat, Nat)
+  val Zero: Zero
+  val Succ: SuccExtractor
+  trait SuccExtractor {
+    def apply(nat: Nat): Succ
+    def unapply(nat: Succ): Option[Nat]
+  }
+  given TypeTest[Nat, Zero] = typeTestOfZero
+  protected def typeTestOfZero: TypeTest[Nat, Zero]
+  given TypeTest[Nat, Succ]
+  protected def typeTestOfSucc: TypeTest[Nat, Succ]
+```
+
+it will be possible to write the following program
+
+```scala
+val peano: Peano = ...
+import peano.{_, given}
+def divOpt(m: Nat, n: Nat): Option[(Nat, Nat)] = {
+  n match {
+    case Zero => None
+    case s @ Succ(_) => Some(safeDiv(m, s))
+  }
+}
+val two = Succ(Succ(Zero))
+val five = Succ(Succ(Succ(two)))
+println(divOpt(five, two))
+```
+
+Note that without the `TypeTest[Nat, Succ]` the pattern `Succ.unapply(nat: Succ)` would be unchecked.
