Would it be possible to make *zfs_prop_get_type* public in a future

There are no Commited (ie Public) documented interfaces for libzfs at
all. I think what you mean is that the zfs_prop_get_type function is
scoped as local rather than global. Just because it has global scope
doesn't mean it is a "Public" ie documented and stable interface
(Committed in the ARC terminology).
I appreciate the difference.
Why do you need it ?
I have an application that wraps libzfs and it's a missing piece in the
jigsaw. I can map a zfs_prop_t to the property's name with
zfs_prop_to_name, but not to its type.
All I can suggest is log a CR at bugs.opensolaris.org and maybe someone
will be kind and change the scope but I doubt it would be high priority
given that libzfs is not documented and doesn't have a public interface
taxonomy. Maybe if you provided the fix via the ON request-sponsor
facility it might get done.
