### unbounded

static Signature.TypeArg.Unbounded unbounded()
Returns an unbounded wildcard type argument `*`.

Returns:
  an unbounded wildcard type argument `*`

### extendsOf

static Signature.TypeArg.Bounded extendsOf(Signature.RefTypeSig boundType)
Returns an upper-bounded wildcard type argument.

Parameters:
  `boundType` - the upper bound
