UNIT_TYPE constant for get

Would be nice if we could determine a unit's type via get UNIT_TYPE (unitID), the UNIT_HEIGHT workaround is kinda dirty. I'm not sure what kind of return type we'd get, though. Variables can only be integers, right?

Well, a quick way to test the number only theory, using a shield unit:

static-var blah;
#define CHECK text

Create() {
blah = text;
}

AimWeapon1() {
if(blah == CHECK) {
return TRUE;
}
}

If the shield turns on, then it accepts text.

Regardless, I agree, it'd be nice to be able to do this.
