patch 9.0.1786: Vim9: need instanceof() functionv9.0.1786
Problem: Vim9: need instanceof() function Solution: Implement instanceof() builtin Implemented in the same form as Python's isinstance because it allows for checking multiple class types at the same time. closes: #12867 Signed-off-by: Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> Co-authored-by: LemonBoy <thatlemon@gmail.com>

interrupt() *interrupt()*
Interrupt script execution. It works more or less like the
