Summary

A variable may stand for a type like a procedure variable stands for a procedure. Type variables include the operations defined for a type. They can declare variables, be tested for type equality, be assigned, and be case discriminated. The simplest are literals where the type variable refers to a type's definition. The type variable may be parameterized. (cbb 5/80)
