Type: <type>
This is not the base type from which all other types derive, so beware. Rather, it is the type of all other types. <string>, <number>, and <channel> are all values. As such, they have a type. So, <type> is the type of <string>, <string> is the type of "Hello, World!", but <type> and "Hello, World!" are not directly related.
