Orkuncakilkaya 6a24b14f0e feat(lang): L5 generic records and functions
property Pool<T> { ... }, function first<T>(xs: []T) -> T, map<T, U> over fn
types; a type writes an instance as Pool<Thing>, nested as deep as needed. The
parser names an instance Pool$Thing and remembers its generic and arguments; the
checker takes the generic declarations out, infers a call's type arguments from
its arguments or its result's declared slot, and makes each instance once as an
ordinary record or function, checked like any other. Errors print Pool<Thing>.
An instance keeps its generic's module and export (L3). ludic-fmt keeps type
arguments together while spacing comparisons and shifts.

# generics.ludic — L5: generic records and functions. A record takes type parameters
# (`property Pool<T>`), a function takes them after its name (`function first<T>`), and a call's
# are worked out from its arguments or, where there are none to say, from the slot its result is
# written into. Each instance is an ordinary record or function the compiler makes once.
#
# Running it prints: 7 Crater Lake a 2 west 7 0.75 2.5 1
