// typeIs returns true if the src is the type named in target.

//   - target: The type name to check against
//   - src: The value whose type will be checked
//
// Returns:
//   - bool: True if the type name of src matches target, false otherwise

// This is useful when you need to check for both a type and a pointer to that type.

// Parameters:
//   - target: The type name to check against
//   - src: The value whose type will be checked

// Returns:
//   - bool: True if the type of src matches target or "*"+target, false otherwise

//   - string: The type name of src

//   - src: The value whose kind will be checked

//   - bool: True if the kind of src matches target, false otherwise

//
// Returns:
//   - string: The kind of src as a string
