Curiously recurring template pattern

The curiously recurring template pattern (CRTP) is an idiom, originally in C++, in which a class X derives from a class template instantiation using X itself as a template parameter. More generally it is known as F {\displaystyle F} -bound polymorphism, and it is a form of F-bounded quantification.
