A group of functions to check, retrieve and compare AHK variable types.

type_common( p_InputList )
type_is( p_Input , p_Type )
type_same( p_Input1 , p_Input2 )
type_same02( p_Input1 , p_Input2 )
type_var( p_Input )

For the functions's parameters and return value, please see it's source code.

Remarks

Added prefix "type_" to all function names (and changed slightly), to make it stdlib conform.
