> for what use case(s)
i almost feel this is like asking bjarne what use cases there are for 'classes' in c-with-classes. it's a structural language change that (depending on implementation details) can have sweeping ramifications on how one writes code.
type parameterization allows for the expression of algorithms, idioms and patterns wholly or partially separate from concrete type details. i'm sure others can better sell the topic though.
