A class definition can be parameterized by using the following syntax:
<ClassDeclaration> -> [<ClassModifiers>] class <idn>
["[" <params> "]"] [<where>] [<Super>]
[<Interfaces>] <ClassBody>
As was the case for interfaces, the params of the class can be used
as types within the class. Also, code in the ClassBody can call
the routines introduced in the where clause. Such a call is
legal provided the routine being called is introduced in the where clause
and has a signature that matches the use. The syntax of the call
depends on what kind of routine is being called: for an ordinary
method, the syntax x.m()
is used to call the method; for a constructor,
the syntax new T() is used; and for a static method the syntax
T.m() is used.
