+/// This function performs case-insensitive matching for built-in type names and checks
+/// against custom types defined in the analysis options.

+/// # Returns
+///
+/// * `Some(Type)` - If the name matches a built-in type or custom type
+/// * `None` - If the name doesn't match any known type
+///
+/// # Built-in Type Mappings
+///
+/// The following type names are recognized (case-insensitive):
+/// - `"string"` → [`Type::String`]
+/// - `"int"` or `"float64"` → [`Type::Number`]
+/// - `"boolean"` → [`Type::Bool`]
+/// - `"date"` → [`Type::Date`]
+/// - `"time"` → [`Type::Time`]
+/// - `"datetime"` → [`Type::DateTime`]
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// ```ignore
+/// let opts = AnalysisOptions::default();
+/// assert_eq!(name_to_type(&opts, "String"), Some(Type::String));
+/// assert_eq!(name_to_type(&opts, "INT"), Some(Type::Number));
