This change in terminology prevents potential confusion
that migth be caused by associating "structural type"
with "structural typing"; the two are not connected.
Also, adjusted introductory paragraph of section on
constraint type inference: type inference goes in both
directions, from type parameter to core type and vice
versa. The previous description was not quite accurate.

Introduce a (local) notion of a set of representative types,
which serves as a representation/approximation of an
interface's actual type set. If the set of representative
types is is non-empty and finite, it corresponds to the set
of specific types of the interface.
In the implementation, the set of representative types serves
as a finite representation of an interface's type set, together
with the set of methods.

As written, the conversion P(x), where P and the type
of x are type parameters with identical underlying types
(i.e., identical constraints), is valid. However, unless
the type of x and P are identical (which is covered with
the assignability rule), such a conversion is not valid
in general (consider the case where both type parameters
are different type parameters with constraint "any").
This change adjusts the rules to prohibit type parameters
in this case. The same reasoning applies and the analogue
change is made for pointer types.
The type checker already implements these updated rules.

This CL reorders the bullet points in the generics section to more
closely match what I think users will consider most important. I put
the ~ token before the mention of ~T in interfaces to avoid a forward
reference, though I wonder if we actually want to spent a couple more
sentences saying what union and ~T types are, since most people are
going to care about that a lot more than they care about the low-level
detail that there's a new token.
