WrapperType -- a class of lists with abbreviated constructors

WrapperType -- a class of lists with abbreviated constructors

The type WrapperType is a member of the class Type. Each object of class WrapperType is called a wrapper type. Each wrapper type is also a member of class Type.

More general types (whose methods may also apply) :

Type -- the class of all types

MutableHashTable -- the class of all mutable hash tables

HashTable -- the class of all hash tables

These are the types X of lists which can be constructed by expressions of the form X {a,b,c,...}, or, for lists of length one, by an expression of the form X a. They also act on sequences.

i1 : X = new WrapperType of BasicList



o1 = X



o1 : WrapperType

i2 : X {a,b,c}



o2 = X{a, b, c}



o2 : X

i3 : X a



o3 = X{a}



o3 : X
