Research direction

The issue names AssociatedType but no implementation file or test. Locate the AssociatedType definition and existing runtime validation tests, then determine how bound or valued type variables are represented. Done means unsupported bound or valued variables are rejected consistently and the relevant tests pass.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Right now, it is possible to create AssociatedType with bound type variables. This is not really supported during runtime.
So, we need a check for this.
