Methods under a different type heading (ex: `Singleton`) imply that the methods are only available for those types. At the implementation level, there is a check to make sure that the type-specific methods are being called on the correct types. For instance, `getindexer()` asserts that `istable()` is true.
#### typelib
All attributes of newly created typelib are initialized with empty tables / arrays and `typelib.nil`. For instance, `typelib.newtable()` initializes its properties with an empty table and index / index result type as `typelib.nil`.
