Template functions don't permit partial specialization, e.g. we cannot specialize typeSignature() to return an array signature for any std::vector or QList type. We need to do that for better array support, so move those functions as static members into a template class, which then can be specialized. Since submodules are both calling and specializing typeSignature and className as template functions, keep and use those until the porting is complete.
