Description
It would be nice if it's possible to bound generics of self.
Example usecase:
class Array[Elem]
def sort: [Elem < Comparable] () -> ::Array[Elem]
| [Elem < Comparable] () { (Elem a, Elem b) -> ::Integer } -> ::Array[Elem]
end

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by tracing how RBS parses method signatures and generic bounds, then establish tests for the shown Array#sort forms and their accepted syntax. Done means the proposed bounds on self are specified and consistently supported.
