@typeOf should presumably be called @TypeOf

All the other builtin functions that return types (e.g. @ArgType, @OpaqueType, @TagType) are capitalized, matching the guidance in https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/#Names.

agreed. this rename is planned; i think just nobody's gotten around to doing it yet.

Just to make this one easier on everyone, I'll wait until we're distributing zig fmt (e.g self hosted is done) and then I'll tag a commit where zig fmt will automatically fix this. I don't see a reason to do the rename before then.

[andrewrk]

OK so the current plan for these builtin renames (see also #2120) is:

1. Make zig fmt allow both names but render to the canonical name
2. After about 1 release cycle not even zig fmt will support the old name.

Gonna re-open this, just to track when we can remove support for auto-conversion. As soon as 0.6.0 is released, it's fair game to remove the legacy @typeOf support.
