<h2 id="Types">Types</h2>

<p>
A type determines a set of values together with operations and methods specific
to those values. A type may be denoted by a <i>type name</i>, if it has one, which must be
followed by <a href="#Instantiations">type arguments</a> if the type is generic.
A type may also be specified using a <i>type literal</i>, which composes a type
from existing types.
