Description of changes

Add docstrings on the exposed type util functions so that they're represented and/or hidden in customer-facing docs correctly.

For most of these utils, that means explicitly marking them as @private to hide them from docs generation. It seemed easy enough to add a little context on the meaning of the return types for most of these as well, so that's included, but should be hidden from customer docs -- internal context only.

syncExpression is intended for customer consumption, so a description intended for customer consumption with sample code (borrowed from docs site) has been added.

Issue #, if available
