more context sensitively.It may have the following meanings:
type()
functiontype Alias
The built-in function (1.) most likely appears in r-value expressions, such as
my_type = type(var)

type
as keyword (2.) or variable (3.) as this is the most likely use case.The implementation ensures to start
meta
scope of alias declarations at bol as class or function declarations do.
