Comment (by scribu):

 Here's what the docs say:

 {{{
 /**
  * Retrieve the post type of the current post or of a given post.
  *
  * @since 2.1.0
  *
  * @uses $post The Loop current post global
  *
  * @param mixed $the_post Optional. Post object or post ID.
  * @return bool|string post type or false on failure.
  */
 function get_post_type( $the_post = false ) {
 }}}

 You should think of it as belonging to the same family as
 get_post_status() and get_the_title().
