Missing documentation for type_hint in ResourceLoader

[bartosz-m]

There is no information what correct values could be passed to ResorceLoader functions load and load_interactive.
I've looked directly at source code of ResorceLoader but I still have no clue.

I think type hint is used when there are file collisions for the extension format.

Like obj or bin, programmer might add multiple loaders which means that godot will be confused which ever works.

Having a hint would help godot choose the correct loader

https://github.com/godotengine/godot/blob/master/core/io/resource_loader.cpp#L74

you pass these values.

https://github.com/godotengine/godot/blob/master/modules/vorbis/audio_stream_ogg_vorbis.cpp#L411

var oggresource = load("res://file.ogg", "AudioStreamOGGVorbis")

@hungrymonkey Maybe things have changed in the past 2 years, but

print(ResourceLoader.load("res://icon.png", "Image"))

prints [StreamTexture:1180]
