// Package typeparams contains common utilities for writing tools that interact
// with generic Go code, as introduced with Go 1.18.
//
// Many of the types and functions in this package are proxies for the new APIs
// introduced in the standard library with Go 1.18. For example, the
// typeparams.Union type is an alias for go/types.Union, and the ForTypeSpec
// function returns the value of the go/ast.TypeSpec.TypeParams field. At Go
// versions older than 1.18 these helpers are implemented as stubs, allowing
// users of this package to write code that handles generic constructs inline,
// even if the Go version being used to compile does not support generics.
//
// Additionally, this package contains common utilities for working with the
// new generic constructs, to supplement the standard library APIs. Notably,
// the StructuralTerms API computes a minimal representation of the structural
// restrictions on a type parameter.
//
// An external version of these APIs is available in the
// golang.org/x/exp/typeparams module.

// number of index expressions.

// T[A_1, ..., A_N] is valid and V[A_1, ..., A_N] implements T[A_1, ..., A_N].
//
// If T has structural constraints, they must be satisfied by V.
//

//
// type Interface[T any] interface {
// Accept(T)
// }
//
// type Container[T any] struct {
// Element T
// }
//
// func (c Container[T]) Accept(t T) { c.Element = t }
