1.4.4.6.1 The ``Compound Type Specifier Kind'' Section of a Dictionary Entry</H2> <P>
|

|
|
An ``abbreviating'' <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_t.htm#type_specifier"><I>type specifier</I></A> is one that describes a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#subtype"><I>subtype</I></A> for which it is in principle possible to enumerate the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_e.htm#element"><I>elements</I></A>, but for which in practice it is impractical to do so. <P>
|
||
|
|
A ``specializing'' <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_t.htm#type_specifier"><I>type specifier</I></A> is one that describes a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#subtype"><I>subtype</I></A> by restricting the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_t.htm#type"><I>type</I></A> of one or more components of the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_t.htm#type"><I>type</I></A>, such as <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_e.htm#element_type"><I>element type</I></A> or <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_c.htm#complex_part_type"><I>complex part type</I></A>. <P>
|
||
|
|
A ``predicating'' <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_t.htm#type_specifier"><I>type specifier</I></A> is one that describes a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#subtype"><I>subtype</I></A> containing only those <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_o.htm#object"><I>objects</I></A> that satisfy a given <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_p.htm#predicate"><I>predicate</I></A>. <P>
|
||
|
|
A ``combining'' <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_t.htm#type_specifier"><I>type specifier</I></A> is one that describes a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#subtype"><I>subtype</I></A> in a compositional way, using combining operations (such as ``and,'' ``or,'' and ``not'') on other <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_t.htm#type"><I>types</I></A>. <P>
