Summary: M5: getTypeIndex && getTypeName misaligned?
Initial Comment:
b := bat.new(:str, :int);
t := inspect.getTypeIndex(b);
io.print(t);
s := inspect.getTypeName(t);
io.print(s);
returns:
[ 6 ]
[ "int" ]
(or is it that getTypeIndex doesn't work well on BATs?)

Martin,
was it your intention with your latest code changes that
inspect.getTypeIndex(v:any_1):int still returns the v's tail type in case v
if of type BAT?
What is the intention/reason for this behaviour?
Why can't inspect.getTypeIndex(v:any_1):int for v:BAT simply return "5",
i.e., the index of type "BAT"?
For me, this would be the most simple, intuitive and consistent semantic
of inspect.getTypeIndex(v:any_1):int, definitely since the addition of
inspect.getTypeIndex(v:bat[:any_1,:any_2]) (ht:int,tt:int) (and the fact
that MAL does signature matching on both arguments and return type) ...

... and: does inspect.getTypeIndex() work recursively on a BAT who's tail
type is again a BAT ... ?

The historian recalls that MIL used to have a "type" function that returns
a variable's type, and functions "htype" & "ttype" to request a BATs head-
and tail-type:
MonetDB>var i := 1;
MonetDB>var b := bat(oid,flt);
MonetDB>print(type(i));
[ 6 ]
MonetDB>print(type(b));
[ 5 ]
MonetDB>print(htype(b));
[ 7 ]
MonetDB>print(ttype(b));
[ 10 ]
MonetDB>print(monet_atomtbl.select(type(i)));
#-----------------#
# h t # name
# str int # type
#-----------------#
[ "int", 6 ]
MonetDB>print(monet_atomtbl.select(type(b)));
#-----------------#
# h t # name
# str int # type
#-----------------#
[ "bat", 5 ]
[ "BAT", 5 ]
MonetDB>print(head(b));
[ "oid" ]
MonetDB>print(tail(b));
[ "flt" ]

Hehe, indeed. At one point I was indeed looking for an "isBAT" function.

pattern inspect.getTypeIndex(v:any_1):int address INSPECTtypeIndex;
#Return the type index of a variable.
So, the implementation of getTypeIndex() does not match its
documentation.
Is there any other function/way in MAL to find out whether a variable is
of an atomic scalar type, or whether it is a BAT?

Clarification of semantics. It returns the typeindex of the tail type.
Upon need more will be added, e.g. (ht,tt):= getTypeIndex(b:bat[...
