Detailed Description

The type of a port, or of a value being made one: string, list[a11.NodeFragment], "audio/wav".

Not a [Node]: a type never stands where an expression does, and keeping it a value type is what lets a port declaration and a cast hold one directly. name is what was written before the brackets – a built-in name, a dotted serialisation tag, or a mimetype when quoted – and parameters are the types a generic one was given.

sugared

bool a11::flow::syntax::TypeExpression::sugared = false

Whether a list[T] was written T[].

The two are the same type and everything but the formatter treats them as one; this is only so a document formatted twice reads the way its author wrote it.
