# The TypeCalculator can answer questions about puppet types.
#
# The Puppet type system is primarily based on sub-classing. When asking the type calculator to infer types from Ruby in general, it
# may not provide the wanted answer; it does not for instance take module inclusions and extensions into account. In general the type
# system should be unsurprising for anyone being exposed to the notion of type. The type `Data` may require a bit more explanation; this
# is an abstract type that includes all scalar types, as well as Array with an element type compatible with Data, and Hash with key
# compatible with scalar and elements compatible with Data. Expressed differently; Data is what you typically express using JSON (with
# the exception that the Puppet type system also includes Pattern (regular expression) as a scalar.
#
# Inference
# ---------
# The `infer(o)` method infers a Puppet type for scalar Ruby objects, and for Arrays and Hashes.
# The inference result is instance specific for single typed collections
# and allows answering questions about its embedded type. It does not however preserve multiple types in
# a collection, and can thus not answer questions like `[1,a].infer() =~ Array[Integer, String]` since the inference
# computes the common type Scalar when combining Integer and String.
#
# The `infer_generic(o)` method infers a generic Puppet type for scalar Ruby object, Arrays and Hashes.
# This inference result does not contain instance specific information; e.g. Array[Integer] where the integer
# range is the generic default. Just `infer` it also combines types into a common type.
#
# The `infer_set(o)` method works like `infer` but preserves all type information. It does not do any
# reduction into common types or ranges. This method of inference is best suited for answering questions
# about an object being an instance of a type. It correctly answers: `[1,a].infer_set() =~ Array[Integer, String]`
#
# The `generalize!(t)` method modifies an instance specific inference result to a generic. The method mutates
# the given argument. Basically, this removes string instances from String, and range from Integer and Float.
#
# Assignability
# -------------
# The `assignable?(t1, t2)` method answers if t2 conforms to t1. The type t2 may be an instance, in which case
# its type is inferred, or a type.
#
# Instance?
# ---------
# The `instance?(t, o)` method answers if the given object (instance) is an instance that is assignable to the given type.
#
# String
# ------
# Creates a string representation of a type.
#
# Creation of Type instances
# --------------------------
# Instance of the classes in the {Puppet::Pops::Types type model} are used to denote a specific type. It is most convenient
# to use the {Puppet::Pops::Types::TypeFactory TypeFactory} when creating instances.
#
# @note
#   In general, new instances of the wanted type should be created as they are assigned to models using containment, and a
#   contained object can only be in one container at a time. Also, the type system may include more details in each type
#   instance, such as if it may be nil, be empty, contain a certain count etc. Or put differently, the puppet types are not
#   singletons.
#
# All types support `copy` which should be used when assigning a type where it is unknown if it is bound or not
# to a parent type. A check can be made with `t.eContainer().nil?`
#
# Equality and Hash
# -----------------
# Type instances are equal in terms of Ruby eql? and `==` if they describe the same type, but they are not `equal?` if they are not
# the same type instance. Two types that describe the same type have identical hash - this makes them usable as hash keys.
#
# Types and Subclasses
# --------------------
# In general, the type calculator should be used to answer questions if a type is a subtype of another (using {#assignable?}, or
# {#instance?} if the question is if a given object is an instance of a given type (or is a subtype thereof).
# Many of the types also have a Ruby subtype relationship; e.g. PHashType and PArrayType are both subtypes of PCollectionType, and
# PIntegerType, PFloatType, PStringType,... are subtypes of PScalarType. Even if it is possible to answer certain questions about
# type by looking at the Ruby class of the types this is considered an implementation detail, and such checks should in general
# be performed by the type_calculator which implements the type system semantics.
#
# The PRuntimeType
# -------------
# The PRuntimeType corresponds to a type in the runtime system (currently only supported runtime is 'ruby'). The
# type has a runtime_type_name that corresponds to a Ruby Class name.
# A Runtime[ruby] type can be used to describe any ruby class except for the puppet types that are specialized
# (i.e. PRuntimeType should not be used for Integer, String, etc. since there are specialized types for those).
# When the type calculator deals with PRuntimeTypes and checks for assignability, it determines the
# "common ancestor class" of two classes.
# This check is made based on the superclasses of the two classes being compared. In order to perform this, the
# classes must be present (i.e. they are resolved from the string form in the PRuntimeType to a
# loaded, instantiated Ruby Class). In general this is not a problem, since the question to produce the common
# super type for two objects means that the classes must be present or there would have been
# no instances present in the first place. If however the classes are not present, the type
# calculator will fall back and state that the two types at least have Any in common.
#
# @see Puppet::Pops::Types::TypeFactory TypeFactory for how to create instances of types
# @see Puppet::Pops::Types::TypeParser TypeParser how to construct a type instance from a String
# @see Puppet::Pops::Types Types for details about the type model
#
# Using the Type Calculator
# -----
# The type calculator can be directly used via its class methods. If doing time critical work and doing many
# calls to the type calculator, it is more performant to create an instance and invoke the corresponding
# instance methods. Note that inference is an expensive operation, rather than inferring the same thing
# several times, it is in general better to infer once and then copy the result if mutation to a more generic form is
# required.
