Description
Operation specializes ParameterableElement to specify that an operation can be exposed as a formal template parameter, and
provided as an actual parameter in a binding of a template.

• templateParameter : OperationTemplateParameter [0..1]The template parameter that exposes this element as a formal parameter.
Redefines ParameterableElement::templateParameter.
Constraints

Semantics
An Operation may be exposed by a template as a formal template parameter. Within a template classifier an operation template
parameter may be used as any other operation defined in an enclosing namespace. Any references to the operation template parameter
within the template will end up being a reference to the actual operation in the bound classifier. For example, a call to
the operation template parameter will be a call to the actual operation.
Notation
See OperationTemplateParameter for a description of the general notation that is defined to support these added capabilities.Within the notation for formal template parameters and template parameter bindings, an operation is shown as <operation-name> ‘(‘ [<operation-parameter> [‘,’ <operation-parameter>]*] ‘)’.
