allowed_type_constant : string -> bool
STRUCTURE
Lexis
SYNOPSIS
Tests if a string has a permissible name for a type constant.

LIBRARY
Lexis
DESCRIPTION
When applied to a string, allowed_type_constant returns true if the string is a permissible constant name for a type operator, and false otherwise.
FAILURE
Never fails.
EXAMPLE
The following gives a sample of some allowed and disallowed names for type operators: 
   - map Lexis.allowed_type_constant ["list", "'a", "fun", "->", "#", "fun2"];
   > val it = [true, false, true, false, false, true] : bool list

COMMENTS
Note that this function only performs a lexical test; it does not check whether there is already a type operator of that name in the current theory.

This function is not currently enforced by the system, as it was found that more flexibilty in naming was preferable.
