That'd be quite a stretch, as its a reserved word. You might as well say "type"
... "is" is a function call. I think we're stretching it far enough just
accepting the "no function call" restricion to begin with. The only reason I
can see for it is an attempt to constrain the possible answers in a way that
selectively hampers one language over another.
We might as well say "you can't use anything *but* function calls, and no infix
operations are allowed", so that Lisp comes out as the superior string handling
language.
