type <-copy: name -> type

Create a copy of a type with a new name. This may be used to create synonym types or extend types in ways not supported by the default conversion from a name to a type. Example:

?- get(@pce, convert, '{left,center,right}', type, X),
?- get(X, copy, format_name, _).

Creates a type format_name that accepts the names’left’,’center’or’right’.
