(22:37:52) mennis: I notice in xargs.b there is a function "reverse" that uses a template looking thing.  Can someone point me to where this form is documented?  reverse[T](l: list of T): list of T
(22:38:58) anothy_olpc: that's the polymetric polymorphism.
(22:39:37) anothy_olpc: i don't remember exactly where its documented; i don't believe the changes were integrated into the language reference manual, sadly.
(22:39:54) olegfink: parametric?
(22:40:25) anothy_olpc: somewhere in the distribution (i don't have mine handy) there's a "changes in the 4th edition" doc or similar; i believe it's in there.
(22:41:49) mennis: OK I hunt it down thank you.
