* Only `uint32`, `int32` (and range of them) can be used as index.
### Kernel Only class
* Annotate the class with `@kernel`.
* Functions are all kernel only, including constructor.
Questions:
* Should we also do `@portable`?
* Support inheritance and polymorphism?
* Annotate the class with `@kernel`/`@portable`.
* The instance can be created from within kernel functions, or the host if it is
portable. It can be passed into kernels.
* All methods, including the constructor, are treated as kernel/portable
functions that would be compiled by the compiler, no RPC function is allowed.
* If the instance is passed into the kernel, the host is not allowed to access
the instance data. Access would raise exception.
## Generics
We use [type variable](https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.TypeVar) for denoting generics.
