This allows writing
new R<std::vector<int>>(...)
without needing curly braces around the type argument. This is appropriate since it's a type argument (so, a type), not a type parameter. It was surprising that it's possible to write egstd::optional<int>
without escaping in a type annotation anywhere in LF, except in that place. See for example a use case here:https://github.com/lf-lang/examples-lingua-franca/blob/e1dd212f28a4ccaf7ff6d717a488a113c5b466a4/Cpp/src/RequestResponse/MAC.lf#L26
Also rename type params to type args where appropriate, for consistency's sake.
