    760760It is also possible to use @ttype@ polymorphism to provide arbitrary argument forwarding functions. For example, it is possible to write @new@ as a library function:
    761761\begin{lstlisting}
    762 struct Pair(otype R, otype S);
     762struct pair(otype R, otype S);
    763763forall(otype R, otype S)
    764 void ?{}(Pair(R, S) *, R, S);  // (1)
     764void ?{}(pair(R, S) *, R, S);  // (1)
    765765
    766766forall(dtype T, ttype Params | sized(T) | { void ?{}(T *, Params); })
     
    769769}
    770770
    771 Pair(int, char) * x = new(42, '!');
     771pair(int, char) * x = new(42, '!');
    772772\end{lstlisting}
    773773The @new@ function provides the combination of type-safe @malloc@ with a constructor call, so that it becomes impossible to forget to construct dynamically allocated objects. This function provides the type-safety of @new@ in \CC, without the need to specify the allocated type again, thanks to return-type inference.

    775 In the call to @new@, @Pair(double, char)@ is selected to match @T@, and @Params@ is expanded to match @[double, char]@. The constructor (1) may be specialized to  satisfy the assertion for a constructor with an interface compatible with @void ?{}(Pair(int, char) *, int, char)@.

    777 \TODO{Check if we actually can use ttype parameters on generic types (if they set the complete flag, it should work, or nearly so).}
