 param, and uses all post types (returned by get_post_types()) as default.
 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.

 You should be able to use is_single() instead. From the doc:

 {{{
  * This applies to other post types, attachments, pages, posts. Just means
 that
  * the current query has only a single object.
 }}}
