/** represents a polymorphic type.

    This class is used to carry type information for polymorphic struct types
    and arrays of polymorphic struct types. These types would be easiest represented
    with type templates, which are not available in .NET 1.1. Therefore
    the System.Type cannot contain information about template parameters. To
    retain this information we use PolymorphicType which directly inherits from
    System.Type. The additional information about type parameters are passed
    as simple string when creating an instance of PolymorphicType. Usually one
    only needs a PolymorphicType when a polymporphic type is put into an
    uno.Any. For example, let's assume there is a idl type PolyStruct:

    module test {
    struct PolyStruct< T >
    {
        T member;
    };
    };

    Then one would use it in C# in this way:

    uno.Any myAny = new uno.Any( PolymorphicType.GetType(
        typeof(PolyStruct),  "unoidl.test.PolyStruct<System.Boolean>"),
        new PolyStruct(true));

    or if one has a sequence of polymorphic structs:

    uno.Any myAny = new uno.Any( PolymorphicType.GetType(
        typeof(PolyStruct),  "unoidl.test.PolyStruct<System.Boolean>[]"),
        new PolyStruct[] {new PolyStruct(true)} );


    To get a new instance of PolymorphicType one uses the static method
    PolymorphicType.GetType. The method ensures that there is only one instance
    for each distinct name. For example, if GetType is called multiple times with
    the name "unoidl.test.PolyStruct<System.Boolean>" then the same instance of
    PolymorphicType is returned. This makes it possible to compare the instances
    by reference, thas is using the operator "==".

    The polymorphic name, which is passed as second argument to PolymorphicType.GetType,
    contains a list of type names. Only type names common
    to all CLI languages can be used. That is, instead of using names, such as
    char, int, float, the names System.Char, System.Int32 and
    System.Single are to be used. Spaces are not allowed.
    The name will always start with "unoidl", when the type was generated by climaker.
    Here are a couple of possible strings:

    unoidl.test.PolyStruct<System.Int32>
    unoidl.test.PolyStruct<System.Char[]>
    unoidl.test.PolyStruct<System.Int64>[]
    unoidl.test.PolyStruct<unoidl.test.PolyStruct<System.Int64>>
    unoidl.test.PolyStruct<unoidl.test.PolyStruct<System.Int64[]>[]>[]

    In the future, when the CLI supports templates, we will probably adapt the cli-uno
    bridge accordingly to use real template types. Then this class will become obsolete.
