> For the purpose of type checking in jexl, It whould be convenient to have some simple syntax for referring to class types, like Class<String> or Type<Boolean>. Literal Class<T> should refer to general classes, and literal Type<T> should refer to primitive type classes. For literals Class<T> it could be possible to specify partal class name, which should resolve to classes in basic packages like java.lang and java.util, for example.
