Subject:    [e-lang] Bug: __getAllegedType/0 doesn't work on objects with matchers

__getAllegedType/0 (and therefore help()) fails for any E-defined object
with a matcher, apparently due to attempting the pattern match:

? def _ {}.__getAllegedType()
# value: <...__main$1>

? def _ { match _ {} }.__getAllegedType()
# problem: <NullPointerException>

? def _ { match [] {} }.__getAllegedType()
# problem: a 2 size list doesn't match a 0 size list pattern

? require.__getAllegedType()
# problem: such-that expression was false
