TypeTester

abstract class TypeTester<E : ExecutionContext>(typeName: String) : UnaryPredicate.Predicative<E>

Base class for ISO type-checking predicates of arity 1 (e.g. atom/1, var/1, is_list/1): succeeds if testType returns true for the (dereferenced) argument, fails (rather than throwing) otherwise. Contrast with TypeEnsurer, which throws instead of failing.
