Relationship To Linear Typing
The term is often used interchangeably with linear type, although often what is being discussed is technically uniqueness typing, as actual linear typing allows a non-linear value to be "cast" to a linear form, while still retaining multiple references to it. Uniqueness guarantees that a value has no other references to it, while linearity guarantees that no more references can be made to a value.
