- Allow type expression for abstract type supertypes. For consistency, and ease of implementation, also allow this for enums. - Allow subtyping of structs. This requires changing all places where we checked for struct types and instead check if we have a subtype of a struct type. - This allows defining two subtypes of the Reference<T> struct for mutable and constant references. Mutable references are a subtype of constant references. - &T desugars to MutableReference<T> const &T desugars to ConstReference<T> - A const field of a class produces a constant reference. A const field of a mutable reference to a struct is const. A mutable field of a const reference to a struct is const. - It is possible to assign a new struct value to a mutable reference to a struct, even if the struct contains const fields. This is analogous to allowing assignments of let-bound structs with constant fields. Not in this CL: - A notion of const slices. - Applying const to appropriate class fields.
