/**
 * A GenericType is a type that has TypeArguments that specialize a Classifier
 * that has been defined with TypeParameters.  A typical usage of this type
 * in EGL is <code>egl.lang.List<E></code>.  This classifier has a type parameter
 * defined for it.  References to the List type can be parameterized with a specific
 * type which in the List case would represent the type of objects that the given
 * List can contain.
