make none? logic? integer? decimal? money? tuple? time? date? string? email? file? url? issue? word? block? paren? path? native? function? object? port?
To check for a single datatype, use its datatype test function (e.g. string?, time?) The /WORD refinement returns the type as a word so you can use if for FIND, SELECT, SWITCH, and other functions.
