Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
no, it's purely to add more functionality, specifically being able to query type anotations for typed languages like c/c++ and gdscript

Describe the solution you'd like
add something like

(_
(type) @type)

Describe alternatives you've considered
I honostly haven't. I just created the above query as this is my first time making any at all.

Additional context
this should allow to query for type declarations in statically typed languages like c/c++
it should also be added for languages like gdscript that are dynamically typed but support type anotations.

Research direction

Start with the proposed (_ (type) @type) query and determine whether it can represent type declarations and annotations in C/C++ and GDScript. Done means users can query those type-related nodes through an @type capture; the issue does not name files or tests to run.
