Make generic types more readable: MyType`2 => MyType<T1,T2> #80

Since generic types are suffixed with backtick followed by the number of arguments it makes for difficult reading. This system exists solely to support the compiler, not humans.

Therefore I wish at least an option (if not default behaviour) that generic types are reprinted in a form that we expect from looking at the code.

Instead of: MyType`2

The output should be: MyType<T1,T2>

Of course if the actual type names used in the code would be preserved that would be even better, like so: MyType<TKey,TValue>

All of a sudden you realize that this is probably some kind of dictionary, which you couldn't infer from the two versions above.

I hacked this into my fork.
