Expand description

Gets a static string slice containing the name of a type.

Note that, unlike most intrinsics, this is safe to call; it does not require an `unsafe` block. Therefore, implementations must not require the user to uphold any safety invariants.

The stabilized version of this intrinsic is `core::any::type_name`.
