 I would like to use following code in plugin:
 {{{
 if ( is_post_of_type( 'mytype' ) {
   do_something_special();
 }
 }}}
 I think other people would like to do the same.

 Please change is_post_of_type() to follow this.

 it's called is_post_of_type() you know...

 I need this to do some things for all post types, e.g. print meta headers
 in <head>, which are stored as post meta data. The easiest way would be to
 just check if `is_post_of_type()` will return `true`. But this is not a
 problem - I can use `is_post_of_type( get_post_types() )` instead.
