Remarks
In contrast, an OpenTypeParameterRef represents a reference to a TypeParameter (or GenericParameter /Type) from outside the generic type or method declaration that declares it, and is a temporary placeholder that should be resolved to either a concrete type or a TypeParameterRef. Like a TypeRef, a TypeParameterRef can include array ranks. It subclasses TypeRef in order to provide this functionality, although it doesn't support type arguments.
