Owner

Templating allows developers to define classes, functions, and other constructs that can operate on a variety of data types.

While compile-time template resolution is the baseline target, implementation should consider dynamic template resolution.

Considerations

Trait-based constraints (ref: Rust)
Parameters may be of any constant type and may provide default values.
Template types will likely be appended to record type tags, requiring expansion of the tag system.

Class<A> {
  data :A
}
