_But why?_

Contributor guide

Research direction

The request concerns extending type parameters from the standard library to user-defined classes. Start by locating the implementation and tests for existing standard-library generics, then determine the language and tooling changes needed for class type parameters. Done means user-defined generic classes are supported consistently with existing type parameters and covered by tests.
