/**
 * A ParameterizedType is the root abstract class of a set of types
 * used to extend <code>ParameterizableType</code> declarations with
 * arguments specified by subclasses of this abstract type.  Typical example
 * in EGL are types like CHAR(10) and CHAR(25).  The base type of CHAR is an alias
 * for the egl ParameterizableType <code>egl.lang.AnyChar</code>.  The full type CHAR(10)
 * is an instance of SequenceType ( a subclass of ParameterizedType) with a length value of 10
 * and a reference to the parameterizable type <code>egl.lang.AnyChar</code>
