Short description:

An operator that takes an Any and returns the String representation of its type.

Examples:

• typeOf(nameOfItem) = "String"
• typeOf(ingredientsOfRecipe) = "Ingredients"
• typeOf(nbtCompoundValueString) = "Operator"

Potential issue: What to do about typeOf(flipPipe)?

Thanks for the suggestion!

Answering your potential issue, wouldn't flipPipe be just another operator? Any variable that hasn't been applied all its inputs, would be.

Something I can't help but wonder for this is if we want to denote list type or IO for operators. Just "List" and "Operator" would work, but I think it's worth consideration.

[Jack-McKalling]

In other languages usually it works for instance like List[string], but IO is not part of the type definition. That's part of its "signature" definition.
