/// Describes a kind of value.
///
/// To style your document, you need to work with values of different kinds:
/// Lengths specifying the size of your elements, colors for your text and
/// shapes, and more. Typst categorizes these into clearly defined _types_ and
/// tells you where it expects which type of value.
///
/// Apart from basic types for numeric values and [typical]($int)
/// [types]($float) [known]($str) [from]($array) [programming]($dictionary)
/// languages, Typst provides a special type for [_content._]($content) A value
/// of this type can hold anything that you can enter into your document: Text,
/// elements like headings and shapes, and style information.
///
/// # Example
/// ```example
/// #let x = 10
/// #if type(x) == int [
///   #x is an integer!
/// ] else [
///   #x is another value...
/// ]
///
/// An image is of type
/// #type(image("glacier.jpg")).
/// ```
///
/// The type of `{10}` is `int`. Now, what is the type of `int` or even `type`?
/// ```example
/// #type(int) \
/// #type(type)
/// ```
///
/// Unlike other types like `int`, [none] and [auto] do not have a name
/// representing them. To test if a value is one of these, compare your value to
/// them directly, e.g:
/// ```example
/// #let val = none
/// #if val == none [
///   Yep, it's none.
/// ]
/// ```
///
/// Note that `type` will return [`content`] for all document elements. To
/// programmatically determine which kind of content you are dealing with, see
/// [`content.func`].
