Research direction
Search the Reference for the existing uses of “concrete”, then read the generics page and glossary structure. Define the term on the generics page, link each use and the glossary entry to it, and add examples of concrete and non-concrete types. Done means the definition, links, glossary entry, and examples are present and consistent.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
We use it twice (soon to be thrice) but don't define it anywhere. It should be defined on the generics page as an item where all generic parameters have been instantiated with a non-generic type. The uses of "concrete" should link to this definition, and it should also be added to the glossary, again linking to the full definition.
We should also have examples that show that scalar types are concrete, types that don't have any generics are concrete, things like Option<u8> are concrete, and probably some counterexamples as well.
