+A type parameter in a @forall@ clause has 3 kinds:
 \begin{enumerate}[listparindent=0pt]
 \item
-@dtype@: any data type (built-in or user defined).
-
-There is also a difference between opaque types (incomplete types, \ie those with only a forward declaration) and concrete types.
-Only concrete types can be directly used as a variable type.
-
-\CFA provides the @otype@ shorthand to require a type parameter be concrete, which also implicitly asserts the existence of its default and copy constructors, assignment, and destructor\footnote{\CFA implements the same automatic resource management (RAII) semantics as \CC.}.
-\item
-@ftype@: any function type.
-
-@ftype@ provides two purposes:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item
-Differentiate function pointer from data pointer because (in theory) some systems have different sizes for these pointers.
-\item
-Disallow a function pointer to match an overloaded data pointer, since variables and functions can have the same names.
-\end{itemize}
+@dtype@: any data type (built-in or user defined) that is not a concrete type.

+A non-concrete type is an incomplete type such as an opaque type or pointer/reference with an implicit (pointer) size and implicitly generated reference and dereference operations.

+A concrete type is a complete type, \ie types that can be used to create a variable, which also implicitly asserts the existence of default and copy constructors, assignment, and destructor\footnote{\CFA implements the same automatic resource management (RAII) semantics as \CC.}.

 In particular, polymorphic variadic recursion must be structural (\ie the number of arguments decreases in any possible recursive calls), otherwise code generation gets into an infinite loop.
 The \CFA compiler sets a limit on assertion depth and reports an error if assertion resolution does not terminate within the limit (as for \lstinline[language=C++]@templates@ in \CC).
