The toType() method return the default string description of the object it receive as argument. toType() do not affect the object itself.
See Symbol.toStringTag.
The Types enum represent the well-known string descriptions that toType()` method return. Note, implementing a class that overrides the toStringTab symbol will not make its value available within this enum.
