Applytype is used to instantiate Vector class instances.

From Interpreter.cpp

  i1 = (intptr_t)U30ARG;  // argc
  // stack in: factory, arg1, ... argN
  // stack out: result

from opcodes.tbl

  ABC_OP(    1,       1,     0,     0,    applytype)  // 0x53

runtime behavior (excluding numerous error conditions)

* it takes one U30 arg-count value as an operand.
* pops an object that is used as a factory. if the factory object
  is not an Object then you get TypeError(kTypeAppOfNonParamType)
* pops |argc| more argument values which are parameters to the factory.
* the internal applyTypeArgs function is called on the factory.
* the resulting parameterized class object is pushed on the stack.

VectorClass's applyTypeArgs():
* argc must == 1 or you get Error(kWrongTypeArgCountError)
* the single argument value must be a Class instance or you get
  VerifyError(kCorruptABCError)  (weird to get VerifyError at runtime!)
* finally you get a new (or pre-existing) class object for the Vector<T>.

Taking this, as I'm doing PACMAN work around the instruction right now.

The description above is slightly buggy; the factory is underneath and the parameters are on top.  Also, for Vector the error thrown for argc==1 is TypeError.

Patch

It would be good to create a bug to track the problem of VerifyError 
being thrown at runtime, since we claim its a bug (I agree).
