....is classified into overloading and coercion [Cardelli 85] This paper is about parametric polymorphism. A function is parametrically polymorphic if it follows the same algorithm regardless of the type of its arguments. Examples of parametric polymorphism are the Ada generic mechanism [Skansholm 97] the Modula 3 generic mechanism [Cardelli 92] the C templates [Stroustrup 97, 88] and the ML type schemes [Milner 89] This paper introduces the concept of hidden parameters in polymorphic functions. This concept is discussed in the frame of a new programming language called SIMPL ....
