C# Programming

In my meanderings through weird code ideas, I wrote down some simple classes in C# based on the idea of "What if variables were typed based on what they returned when called, using that as what they are."
So, for example, an equation that returns a double "is" a double (or derived from DTBase(double)); a DTFunc(string) that concatenates a string based on relevant factors "is" a string (or derived from DTBase(string)) and, of course, a DTVar(int) contains and "is" an integer. (Parenthesis substituted for angle brackets)
Being as this website is about code and being that I wrote this in C#, I decided to see what other programming netizens might think of this idea, as well as the rather present idea that someone may have thought of this first.
Thanks.
