Abstract
This chapter introduces a number of new concepts. The first is the use of implicit. Implicit facilities are a range of language facilities that provide implicit conversions between one type and another (typically in order to access some functionality or to provide compatibility between types). This chapter then introduces Scala annotations (a form of meta data for types), Enumerations and lazy evaluation.
