Contract Types
--------------
Every :ref:`contract<contracts>` defines its own type. Contracts can be implicitly converted
to contracts they inherit from. They can be explicitly converted from and to ``address`` types.
Contracts can also be instantiated (which here means they are newly created). You can find more details in
the :ref:`'Contracts via new'<creating-contracts>` section.
The data representation of a contract is identical to that of the ``address`` type and
this type is also used in the :ref:`ABI<ABI>`.
