Change Generics Syntax

[thbwd]

✏️ Proposed change

The syntax for generic argument/parameter lists must be changed. There are two options I have considered so far:

• The list begins with 🐚 and ends with 🍆.

  🍨🐚🔡🍆
  🥞🐚🔡🔡🔢🍆
  

• The list begins with❇️ and ends with 🍆.

  🍨❇️🔡🍆
  🥞❇️🔡🔡🔢🍆
  

🍆 is used for consistency with current list/dictionary literals and will be changed when their syntax is finalized.

🤔 Rationale

The current syntax is ambiguous:

👛🐚🐍🐚🔡

Grammar-wise it is not clear here whether 🐚🔡 is an argument to 👛 or an argument for 🐚🐍. This is impractical for parsing in certain situations as well as it can be confusing to the programmer. With the new syntax there is no ambiguity:

👛🐚🐍🔡🍆
💭 or (depending on what the above meant)
👛🐚🐍🐚🔡🍆🍆
