Expand description
The role a node plays in an expression: operator, operand, or neither.
This is a syntactic classification, not a metric one. Whether a node
is an operator or an operand is decided by the grammar — + and a
call expression are operators, an identifier and a string literal
are operands — and each language’s answer lives in its
Getter::get_op_type table
beside the rest of its classifiers.
Halstead is the metric that consumes it today, and until #1376 the
type was named after that consumer. It is not Halstead-specific:
anything that reasons about operator/operand structure can use it,
which is why it sits in the parse layer rather than the metric.
metrics::halstead re-exports it, and keeps the old HalsteadType
spelling as a deprecated alias.
