Description

The title is obscure, so I'll explain what I want with a manipulated example:
![image](https://github.com/Macaulay2/M2/assets/3147718/e53eca31-9eac-450d-9896-99927ef23fda)
Here, `AffineVariety` and `ProjectiveVariety` are subtypes of `Variety` and the list should reflect this.

Research direction

Start by tracing the exports list and how subtype relationships are represented in Macaulay2. Use the example involving Variety, AffineVariety, and ProjectiveVariety as the expected behavior; done means the list reflects those semantic subtype relationships.
