Comment:

 The real problem here is that `get_post_type()` is a poorly named
 function. It should be `get_post_post_type()` - that is, "get the
 post_type of a post". This better parallels `get_post_field()`. The
 corresponding term function would then be `get_term_taxonomy()`.

 In any case, it seems to me that wrapper fields like this for
 `get_term_field()` are not all that useful. For consistency, we'd want
 functions for all the properties of the term, but do we really want or
 need `get_term_term_group()`? Seems to me that `get_term_field()`,
 especially after #34245, is more than enough.
