 Each sub-section below defines what the type name is for each
 type.
 
+Additional types can be created from existing ones by specifying certain
+[=extended attributes=] on the existing types. For example,
+<code>[Clamp] long</code> defines a new type whose behavior is based on
+that of the {{long}} type, but modified as specified by the [{{Clamp}}]
+extended attribute.
+
+The [=type name=] of a type annotated with an [=extended attribute=] is
+the concatenation of the type name of the annotated type and a string
+corresponding to the extended attribute's identifier.

In general I think it's not worth fussing over this or creating an example given that nobody knows what type names are used for.
