Thanks to @ndasriaux who suggested it! "Variant" was a close second, but "incarnation" is barely used in any related contexts, and has the right nuance. My only concern is that it sounds like a canonical term, when it isn't (yet). So I'll just have to explain that in the course.
By the way, if anyone has a good reason why I shouldn't use "incarnation", it's not too late to stop me, and I'll just go with "variant" instead!
Unsure if someone already reported this, but I just recalled that #Eiffel uses the term "derivation", and argues against the use of instantiation for the same reason that you mentioned in your first post. Quite non-standard term though... See http://se.ethz.ch/~meyer/ongoing/etl/generic.pdf …pic.twitter.com/Hi6tG1p4ps
Oh, I'm glad I'm not alone in my concern about "instantiation"! Derivation (of the generic variety) obviously has its own meaning over in Scala, so I wouldn't choose that, but I can see why Eiffel chose it.
I’d have a reason not to use variant because of polymorphic variants being something different already.
