Function: abstract()

abstract<T>(): T

Annotating abstract methods is not allowed in TypeScript. Instead, we have to define concrete, empty methods, awaiting for an annotation to actually define its behaviour. However, typescript will throw a compilation error if that method declares a return value but the body is empty. The abstract function is a placeholder that stands for a return value. It will throw if called as is, but it is intended to be bypassed by the action of an annotation.
