Gary... There are many definitions for the word type. In C# I find the

It strikes me as a less than useful definition when "interface" and
"generic" are already defined in C#. A definition which not only needs
more definitions in order to be useful, but those definitions are
overloads of *existing* definitions is likely to lead to confusion, I
suspect.

(I know you said to ignore the definition if it's not helpful, but I
thought it was worth pointing out how potentially confusing it is.)
