… whether it is generic. It's actually possible to get into all four combinations of having parameter lists versus being generic: - An entity nested within a generic, such as a member class, can be generic even if it has no parameters. - As a corner case, an entity with an *empty* parameter list has parameter lists, but isn't a generic because it doesn't have any generic parameters.
