Package typeparams contains common utilities for writing tools that interact with generic Go code, as introduced with Go 1.18.

Many of the types and functions in this package are proxies for the new APIs introduced in the standard library with Go 1.18. For example, the typeparams.Union type is an alias for go/types.Union, and the ForTypeSpec function returns the value of the go/ast.TypeSpec.TypeParams field. At Go versions older than 1.18 these helpers are implemented as stubs, allowing users of this package to write code that handles generic constructs inline,even if the Go version being used to compile does not support generics.
