Clean up typeystem query type method #201

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Right now, we have methods for checking type info like is_instance in three places, standalone functions, on Type and on Typesystem. It would be nice to unify them somehow if that makes sense.

Any specific idea how to unify them?

jcklie commented 2 years ago

Maybe only put them on the type or remove them atleast from the type system. If one adds a new function like these, it needs to be added in 3 places right now to adhere to the existing ones.
