## Type Patterns

A type pattern is one of

`TypeNamePattern` | all types in `TypeNamePattern`
`SubtypePattern` | all types in `SubtypePattern`, a pattern with a +.
`ArrayTypePattern` | all types in `ArrayTypePattern`, a pattern with one or more []s.
`!`TypePattern`` | all types not in `TypePattern`
``TypePattern0` && `TypePattern1`` | all types in both `TypePattern0` and `TypePattern1`
``TypePattern0` || `TypePattern1`` | all types in either `TypePattern0` or `TypePattern1`
`( `TypePattern` )` | all types in `TypePattern`

where `TypeNamePattern` can either be a plain type name, the wildcard `*` (indicating all types), or an identifier with embedded `*` and `..` wildcards.

An embedded `*` in an identifier matches any sequence of characters, but does not match the package (or inner-type) separator ".".

An embedded `..` in an identifier matches any sequence of characters that starts and ends with the package (or inner-type) separator ".".
