mk_thy_type
       : {Thy:string, Tyop:string, Args:hol_type list} -> hol_type
STRUCTURE
Type
SYNOPSIS
Constructs a type.
DESCRIPTION
If s is a string that has been previously declared to be a type with arity type n in theory thy, and the length of tyl is equal to n, then mk_thy_type{Tyop=s, Thy=thy, Args=tyl} returns the requested compound type.
FAILURE
Fails if s is not the name of a type in theory thy, if thy is not in the ancestry of the current theory, or if n is not the length of tyl.
EXAMPLE
- mk_thy_type {Tyop="fun", Thy="min", Args = [alpha,bool]};
> val it = `:'a -> bool` : hol_type

- try mk_thy_type {Tyop="bar", Thy="foo", Args = []};

Exception raised at Type.mk_thy_type:
"foo$bar" not found

COMMENTS
In general, mk_thy_type is to be preferred over mk_type because HOL provides a fresh namespace for each theory (mk_type is a holdover from a time when there was only one namespace shared by all theories).
