Description
typeof(Int) == DataType
As does basically all other types of types, with the exclusion of unions and unionalls.
While we can have multiple things using same name because of shadowing,
I would find a confusing to say this name used for anything other than the original definition

The issue does not name files, tests, or a settled replacement; done would require an agreed naming change and verification that relevant usages remain consistent.
