Are there type parameters?

[davidgiven]

So Luau supports generic functions:

function pairof<T>(a: T, b: T): {T}
    return {a, b}
end

local a = pairof(1, 2)

T is inferred automatically from when the function is called.

Is it possible in Luau to specify T explicitly when calling the function? e.g. something like:

local a = <number>pairof(1, 2)

(that's Java syntax, which is clunky because using <> as delimiters is ambiguous with using them as operators in most contexts)

Luau doesn't support explicit generic type parameters on functions.
