+  * `:is_type_of` - A function used to identify whether a resolved object belongs to this defined type. For use with `:interfaces` entry and `Absinthe.Type.Interface`. This function will be passed one argument; the object whose type needs to be identified, and should return `true` when the object matches this type.
