Code inspection: Use 'nameof' expression to reference type name

This inspection reports expressions like typeof(SomeType).Name when the code only needs the compile-time type name. In that case, nameof(SomeType) expresses the intent more directly.

Example

var name = typeof(Customer).Name;

var name = nameof(Customer);

Quick-fix

nameof(...) is shorter, clearer, and avoids using reflection-style syntax when only a symbol name is needed.
