Concept:
Generic function
Headline
A function for datatype-generic programming
Definition
Diverse and even conflicting definitions of "generic function" have been used in the past. The present ontology assumes the notion of generic function in the sense of datatype-generic programming. Thus, a generic function is a polymorphic function (because it can be applied to many types) that is also able to observe structure of (some of the) types in which it is parameterized.
Illustration
For instance, the "Scrap your boilerplate" style of generic programming supports the definition of generic functions. See corresponding illustrations.
