Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: An EX$Val has concise methods for testing the type of its wrapped '$$' value: isR, isI, isB, isQ, isS. These may be used in ADT "constructor" type tests.

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: The validity of the type of a wrapped '$$' value of an EX$Val may be checked in ADT "constructors" which have type checking utility support. This strategy has been chosen over sub-types of EX$Val.

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: There does not seem to be a way to register ::usage specific to a Webel ADT-Method (TagSetDelayed UpValue). The Webel libraries offer method documentation support via the HelpO` class/method registry.

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: Webel ADT-Methods support Wolfram Language Options[] as TagSetDelayed UpValues (but there are some pros and cons). Webel ADT-Methods work with the Webel HelpO` class/method registry, including rich help on options.

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: POLICY: The ADT-Methods of an ADT-Class are created as TagSetDelayed UpValues using the 'signature' of the ADT-Class and its defining 'pattern' as 1st argument

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: CONVENTION: PROVISIONAL: The infix operator for calling ADT-Methods on ADT "objects" is the CircleDot (⊙ in Notebooks). ISSUE: \[CircleDot] is NOT GOOD FOR USE IN IDEs!

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: POLICY: Multiple inheritance is supported via ONE (only) ADT-Class and one or more ADT-MemberInterfaces (which have no ADT-Method UpValues)

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: POLICY: Definer functions MUST return the self-declared or injected 'pattern' that determines the unique "ADT-signature" of the defined ADT class.

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: NAMING CONVENTION: An UpValue that can be invoked on an ADT accepting its unique 'signature' pattern as (at least) 1st argument is called an 'ADT-Method'. They are NOT methods in the general object-oriented sense!

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: There is an 'ADT' universal base that has no supers. It "blesses" every other sub-class ADT by populating it with some common ADT-Method UpValues against a signature pattern via the 'adt$def$All[]' definer function.

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: DEFINITION/CONVENTION: Functions that populate ADTs with reusable ADT-method UpValues are called 'definers' and include '$def' in the name after a Package scope indicator: Example: adt$def$ADT, my$def$MY$CleverList

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: POLICY: Every named concrete Abstract Data Type (ADT) has a ONE unique "signature" (which is the pattern passed to the "definer" functions). To vary a signature, define another unique ADT name.

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: POLICY: The Abstract Data Types (ADTs) are stateless functional (although inheritance and overrides are supported), with no caching by default (although there is nice optional caching using CreateUUID[] and Once[]).

Mathematica: Webel ADT: The term 'Abstract Data Types (ADT)' is used informally (the Webel ADTs do not always adhere to strict definitions of ADTs). Please just think of it here as meaning a strong type or stateless "pseudo class".

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: POLICY: The expression '$$' is reserved as the primary named parameter for the defining pattern of all ADT classes that extend the universal base 'ADT' class.

TIP: Mathematica: Webel's ultimate guide to using Abstract Data Types to create "pseudo classes" (strong types) with inheritance for the Wolfram Language, all modelled in SysML!
