array

add an element at the end of this array

create immutable array from this

create a list from this array

the current state of the buffer
as a string.

stop any further mutations of this element

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 hierachy of types. So for Type values, dynamic_type is redefined
to just return Type.type.

get element at given index i

set element at given index i to given value o

a sequence of all valid indices to access this array. Useful e.g., for
`for`-loops:

for i in arr.indices do

name of this type, including type parameters, e.g. 'option (list i32)'.

is this element open, i.e., can it be mutated?

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.

initialize an empty mutable array of type T

initialize one-dimensional mutable array

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`.
