Description

It would be great to have more options for type parameters. Specifically, it would be helpful for me if you could specify multiple types with an `or` and if you could make the type parameter `required`.

Example:
``` dart
class MyClass {}

class MyClass {}

// good
final a = MyClass();

// bad => linter says type parameter is required
final a = MyClass();
```

Research direction

No implementation files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the Dart language specification and the existing rules for type parameters, then determine how the proposed `or` bounds and `required` type parameters would fit those rules. Done means the language design, syntax, semantics, and validation approach are agreed.
