All Known Implementing Classes:

BooleanValue, Bounds, Bounds2, Bounds3, BoundSet, BoundsN, ContinuousValue, DoubleValue, Enumeration, FloatValue, Fraction, IntegralValue, IntValue, LongValue, ReOrderedMatrix, ScopedObservableSet, ScopedSet, TypedObject, TypeParameter, TypeResolver, TypeToken, Value

public interface Self<S extends Self<S>>

For classes which follow the self-bounding pattern. The self-bounding pattern is the use of the final derived class as a type parameter.

Generally only the most specific useful type will be considered for parameterization, and more specific type information will be discarded.
