In this example taken from the linked document; what is X?

I guess X is the type that is represented by the struct, the meaning being
: "the type X is a struct that contains a field that is a pointer to a
value of the same type".
EDIT : I think the "next" word, which is here the name of the field, can
even be omitted. The relevant information here is to k

X is the name of the struct type. This struct satisfi

Yes, but you can just specify the concract like :
contract doubleLinkedListNode {
X struct {
*X
*X
}
}
which defines a type X containing at least two pointers to values of type
X. You'd do the same currently for a function type --> func (int, int,
string), which takes two

I'm not quite sure I understand your example .
According to me a contract on a structure type only defines what the
structure type should have (aka the minimum number of fields and their
respective types). When you define a function with a generic type, the only
thing the compiler should check is t

Oh. Okay ! Yeah sorry I think my mind got stuck with the notion of
"abstract definition" of any type and did not see the concrete use they
could be subject to. I see what you mean :
https://play.golang.org/p/8P3IJElTS7d would effectively not work.
I think I didn't have the full picture of this.
