Dear Michael,
thank you for the explanation. I understand that the helper overwrites the
original constructor. But...
I have defined "type TSomething = type TVec3f" (note the second "type").
So from my perspective, I'd assume that the TSomethingHelper doesn't apply
to TVec3f at all because TSomething is defined as a new type, not only an
alias for TVec3f.
I would expect the type helper to remain functional. The types are the same
for all purposes except they have a different RTTI entry.
But the exact behaviour of the compiler in this case is something that Sven
Barth will need to explain...
Michael.
