Arguments: outline-item
Returns the value of the kind slot of the argument. The kind property is not used at internally, but an application can assign arbitrary values to this property in order to specialize methods of generic functions such as outline-item-closed-pixmap. For example, each outline-item that happens to represent a person could be given a "kind" property of :person, and then an outline-item-closed-pixmap method that uses an (eql :person) specializer for the kind argument would causes each of these outline-items to use a particular pixmap when in closed state.
kind is a property of the outline-item class.
