    The TYPED_BY function is a relationship function. It finds
    occurrences that have a TYPED_BY relationship between them.
    For example, if variable X is typed by INTEGER, then these two
    occurrences are in a TYPED_BY relationship. In its most common
    form, the function format is as follows:

    TYPED_BY( <type>, <typee>, DEPTH={<number> | ALL} )

    In this format, <typee> and <type> can be any legal query
    expression, and <number> is a positive integer. A typical use
    of the function is to find what is being typed by INTEGER. For
    example:

      FIND TYPED_BY( INTEGER, *, DEPTH=1)

    This query finds everything that is of type INTEGER. The TYPED_BY
    function can also tell you the items that are in some way affected
    by a given type. The type can be predefined by language elements
    such as INTEGER, or can be user defined. For example:

      FIND TYPED_BY( user_defined_type, *, DEPTH=ALL)

    This query finds all the items that are directly or indirectly
    affected by USER_DEFINED_TYPE.

    The TYPED_BY function provides the power to return the exact type
    tree you want. The full format is as follows:

    TYPED_BY( [ END=<type> ],
              [ BEGIN=<typee> ],
              [ DEPTH={<number> | ALL} ],
              [ RESULT=RESULT_KEYWORD ],
              [ TRACE=query_expression ] )

    In the previous format, <type> and <typee> is any legal query
    expression, <number> is a positive integer, RESULT_KEYWORD can
    be STRUCTURE, NOSTRUCTURE, ANY_PATH, BEGIN, or END, and QUERY_
    EXPRESSION is any legal query expression.
