Thank you Stephan for your feedback and the detailed explanations.
Yes I was talking about this typical usage.
Great if cppu::UnoType<T>::get() is better than getCppuType usage!
It will serve 2 goals then:
1) a better usage
2) a fix to cppcheck report "Expression is always false because 'else if'
condition matches previous condition at line..." for this type of case
(of course, I consider 1) more important but it will kill 2 birds with one
stone)

Eg in sfx2/source/toolbox/tbxitem.cxx, I could change:
else if ( pType == ::getCppuType((const sal_uInt32*)0) )
to 
else if ( pType == cppu::UnoType<const sal_uInt32>::get() )

Just to be sure, it would then mean that getCppuType could be removed after
having replaced all the occurences of getCppuType by cppu::UnoType... or are
there some special/specific cases?
