Using the function type raises a lexer exception

[SebastienMichoy]

Describe the bug
Using the function type raises a lexer exception:

Error: parsing expression: Lexer error: could not match text starting at 1:5 failing at 1:7.
	unmatched text: "ty"

Version of yq: 4.24.5
Operating system: mac
Installed via: homebrew

Input Yaml
Concise yaml document(s) (as simple as possible to show the bug, please keep it to 10 lines or less)
data1.yml:

- "a string"
- "another string"

Command
The command you ran:

yq '. | type' data1.yml

Actual behavior

Error: parsing expression: Lexer error: could not match text starting at 1:5 failing at 1:7.
    unmatched text: "ty"

Expected behavior

"array"

Additional context
I've tried to compare with the output of jq:

$> yq --version
yq (https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/) version 4.24.5
$> jq --version
jq-1.6
$> echo '[0, false, [], {}, null, "hello"]' | yq '. | type'
Error: parsing expression: Lexer error: could not match text starting at 1:5 failing at 1:7.
	unmatched text: "ty"
$> echo '[0, false, [], {}, null, "hello"]' | jq '. | type'
"array"

Ah I see - in yaml tags represent the type information https://yaml.org/spec/1.2.2/#3212-tags so there is a tag function.

That said - I should create an alias type that calls this, which I can do in the next release. Till then, use tag.

Oh! Thanks for the explanation and the quick response!

Added alias in 4.25.1
