I like the use of the word "mold" here; I've not heard it applied to programming before. Manufactured objects are often very different from the prototype, but it's harder to differ substantially from the mold.

More recently Urbit's Hoon language used the word for type-assertion functions [1], though I'm very sure that its choice is mostly due to its idiosyncratic naming convention where each class of words have the same number of letters.
