type Foo[T: static] = object
doesn't work;type Foo[T] = object
is buggy when instantiated with static generic arg #13529, almost closes it by providing a better alternative:type StaticParam*[value: static type] = object
instead of
type StaticParam*[value] = object
which makes it more typesafe, see tests in tests/statictypes/tstatictypes.nim
Note: the change to typetraits.nim was necessary after the fix for #12864 but is a good change anyways.
More generally,
static[T: static type]
is the correct way to provide a static param of any typeCI failure unrelated => recent commit broke Nim CI inim-repl/INim#63(was fixed upstream after i reported it)
