create a String from this instance. Unless redefined, `a.as_string` will
create `"instance[T]"` where `T` is the dynamic type of `a`
create `"instance[T]"` where `T` is the dynamic type of `a`
Get the dynamic type of this instance. For value instances `x`, this is
equal to `type_of x`, but for `x` with a `ref` type `x.dynamic_type` gives
the actual runtime type, while `type_of x` results in the static
compile-time type.
There is no dynamic type of a type instance since this would result in an
endless hierarchy of types. So for Type values, dynamic_type is redefined
to just return Type.type.

convenience prefix operator to create a string from a value.
This permits usage of `$` as a prefix operator in a similar way both
inside and outside of constant strings: $x and "$x" will produce the
same string.

Is this type assignable to a type parameter with constraint `T`?
The result of this is a compile-time constant that can be used to specialize
code for a particular type.
is_of_integer_type(n T : numeric) => T : integer
say (is_of_integer_type 1234) # true
say (is_of_integer_type 3.14) # false

pair(a,b T) is

name of this type, including type parameters, e.g. 'option (list i32)'.
Get a type as a value.
This is a feature with the effect equivalent to Fuzion's `expr.type` call tail.
It is recommended to use `expr.type` and not `expr.type_value`.
`type_value` is here to show how this can be implemented and to illustrate the
difference to `dynamic_type`.

wraps f so that f will only be called once for every unique input.
The term "memoization" was coined by Donald Michie in 1968 and
is derived from the Latin word "memorandum" ("to be remembered"),
usually truncated as "memo" in American English, and thus carries
the meaning of "turning a function into something to be remembered".
