IActualTypeProvider (EASy-Producer Documentation API)

All Superinterfaces:

IVilType

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractIvmlVariable, Attribute, DecisionVariable
```
public interface IActualTypeProvider
extends IVilType
```
VIL types implementing this interface may provide a more actual type of an object, e.g., an argument during dynamic dispatch. Actually, this interface mixes VIL and IVML types, but we need the type (or at least its qualified actual type/import path, which is not the qualified name)
