Problem: Vim9: No support for type aliases
Solution: Implement :type command
A type definition is giving a name to a type specification. This also known
type alias.
:type ListOfStrings = list<string>
The type alias can be used wherever a built-in type can be used. The type
alias name must start with an upper case character.

Problem: Vim9: problem calling class method from other class
Solution: Fix this problem, fix readonly object access, update error
messages.
Calling a class method from another method without the class name prefix
doesn't work properly.
A readonly object variable is modifiable outside the class using a
nested object assignment.
Remove the unused E1338 error message.
Update error messages.

Problem: Vim9: restrict access to static vars and methods
Solution: Class members are accesible only from the class where they are
defined.
Based on the #13004 discussion, the following changes are made:
1) Static variables and methods are accessible only using the class
name and inside the class where they are defined.
2) Static variables and methods can be used without the class name in
the class where they are defined.
3) Static variables of a super class are not copied to the sub class.
4) A sub class can declare a class variable with the same name as the
super class.
5) When a method or member is found during compilation, use more
specific error messages.
This aligns the Vim9 class variable/method implementation with the Dart
implementation.
Also while at it, ignore duplicate class and object methods.
The access level of an object method can however be changed in a
subclass.
For the tests, use the new CheckSourceFailure() function instead of the
CheckScriptFailure() function in the tests.

Problem: Cannot access a private object member in a lambda defined inside
the class.
Solution: Go up the context stack to find the class. (closes#11866)
Problem: Classes are not documented or implemented yet.
Solution: Make the first steps at documenting Vim9 objects, classes and
interfaces. Make initial choices for the syntax. Add a skeleton
implementation. Add "public" and "this" in the command table.
