 ### Type Parameters
 
-All items except modules may be *parameterized* by type. Type parameters are
-given as a comma-separated list of identifiers enclosed in angle brackets
-(`<...>`), after the name of the item and before its definition. The type
-parameters of an item are considered "part of the name", not part of the type
-of the item. A referencing [path](#paths) must (in principle) provide type
-arguments as a list of comma-separated types enclosed within angle brackets, in
-order to refer to the type-parameterized item. In practice, the type-inference
-system can usually infer such argument types from context. There are no
-general type-parametric types, only type-parametric items. That is, Rust has
-no notion of type abstraction: there are no first-class "forall" types.
