Introspectors

These Inspectors look into the currently installed relevance engine to retrieve information about specific Inspectors.

type

Some Inspectors look at the Relevance language itself, inspecting the Inspectors, so to speak. There are several aspects to view, including the types, properties, casts and operators. This group of Inspectors looks at the various type options available from the Relevance language.
