Description
Added a is_actual_type() to the type to differentiate type identification from the existing type conversion capability of is_valid(). When loading an Array, it's now using the is_actual_type in order to load the exact type it was saved as. Only the array loading is using this new function, any existing uses of is_valid() have not been changed.
Loading an array of Strings identifies each element as a Color because the is_valid() of the Color type recognizes the string content before the String type is queried. This is occuring because the is_valid() function doesn't just check for the exact type but also for any types it can convert from. Thus, other types, like references, also exhibit the same problem.
Note, this new function will also need to be added to custom data types created by users when extending the addon data types.
