datum

Var Details

abstract_type

Abstract-ness is a meta-property of a class that is used to indicate that the class is intended to be used as a base class for others, and should not (or cannot) be instantiated. We have no such language concept in DM, and so we provide a datum member that can be used to hint at abstractness for circumstances where we would like that to be the case, such as base behavior providers. If set, a path at/above this one that expects not to be instantiated.
