Additional Operations
  1. The query conformsTo() gives true for a type that conforms to another. By default, two types do not conform to each other. This query is intended to be redefined for specific conformance situations.

    conformsTo(other: Type): Boolean;
    conformsTo = false

Semantics
  1. A type represents a set of values.
  2. A typed element that has this type is constrained to represent values within this set.
