It could be a proposal to Numba extension:

• When the type of some input arguments is not understand by Numba it could provide a list of type checkers. Libraries could add its typeof implementation to it.
• We can use code for cuda like an example for exploitation of this extension point.
• Also Numba have a way to extend typeof(). Why we and cuda did not do that? - need to investigate.
• If typeof extending does not work then we need to move it to patch or design an extension point and propose to Numba.

It is very old code. DeviceArray is not present in numba-dppy now.
