[developers] Type hierarchy extraction problems

[Stephan Oepen]

hi andrew,

for better efficiency, the LKB has a concept of so-called ‘leaf
types’ (see Copestake, 2001), which are loaded on demand.

thus, to obtain a complete type hierarchy, one will first have
force loading of all leaf types.  the following should work:

  (lkb::batch-check-lexicon)

best, oe
