Description

**Description of the issue**

How do I get the type of an expression in Rust?

For example, I want to constrain this to only accesses on string-like expressions.
```ql
private class IndexExprOnNonConstantString extends IndexExpr {
IndexExprOnNonConstantString() { not this.getBase() instanceof StringLiteralExpr }
}
```

**Actual**: No `getType` predicate on expr.
**Expected**: Predicate to get type of expr.

When will support be added for an - in my understanding - very basic feature?
Or is there a workaround/internal API?
