Comment:

 Yes, there is get_comment_type() function. But it's rather different.
 get_comment_type() only checks and returns the '''string code''' of the
 type: 'trackback', 'pingback', and 'comment'. Whereas comment_type()
 receives the '''labels''' of each '''string code''' thus selecting which
 '''labels''' will be displayed on the page.

 The function the_title() also has 'echo' parameter although there is
 already get_the_title() function
