Re: What is this simpleType's "base" type?

The point which Mike answered is correct I believe.

For other ones, I'll have a take on them.

The other one is itemType of the list (the list type is the "base"
type you've mentioned above).

I think the commonly used term to express "xxx" here is simply base
type. So you may name xxx here as base-type probably.

or perhaps,
getType(LotteryNumbers, "base")

could say that retrieve the base type of the type LotteryNumbers.

I think this may be better done with two function calls, for e.g,

getItemType(getType(LotteryNumbers, "base"))

this may return the itemType of list, if that is the case or null otherwise.
