How can I delete a type from the schema.  
Ratel doesn’t seem to offer a drop button for Types, only for Predicates.  
In the docs I could find how to delete a predicate/ attribute:

```auto
curl -X POST localhost:8080/alter -d '{"drop_attr": "mypredicate"}'

```

What’s the equivalent for type?  
Or how do I delete a type from the console in ratel?

Thank you!!

You can’t do it from Ratel for now.
