Proposal: write a Go Type Parameters Reference document

[Manlio Perillo]

Go generics are complex.

Currently the only useful documentation (excluding the Go Language Specification) is the original design:  golang.org/design/43651-type-parameters.

I propose to fork the design document to create a new document

"Go Type Parameters Reference" and publish it in https://go.dev/ref/generics.

The new document should be a copy of the original design, with some sections removed , a new section with code not working with go1.18 but that may work in future and a new section with a glossary.  Some examples still don't work with go1.18 and should be fixed.

Thanks

Manlio

Thanks, but I think that our goal should be that the reference for the
language is the language spec (https://go.dev/ref/spec). Adding more
information about generics is in progress.

The proposal design can remain as a longer-term view of where we hope
that generics will get to in future releases.
