Is there a better way to do type comparisons?

[serialhobbyist]

I was trying to test a returned object's type but I couldn't make it work in a good way.

$obj = @()
$obj | should be [Array]

gives

Expected that (actual) () be ([Array]).

I can, of course, do:

$obj -is [Array] | should be $true

but when it's not true I get

Expected that (actual) (False) be (True)

rather than the actual type. Is there a way to write it such that I get the type back when it fails?
