    What if I specify the wrong type? let retrieved = storage.get::<SomeOtherType>();?

    Is it a runtime error or a compile time error?

        Well, you would determine the TypeId of SomeOtherType, then search for that as the key in your HashMap and get back a None, because no entry exists and then you’d hand that back to the user.
        I guess, my little usage example should’ve included handling of an Option value…

        So, it’s only a runtime error, if you decide to .unwrap() or similar.
