Usually you would be able to do that quite easily if the Sb-classes had been template classes of Type and Dimension arguments. This type library makes it possible to work around that lack of genericity by looking up type relationships instead.

Certain inside types of SbTypeInfo<> are always defined. Others will only be defined if the template argument type is of certain characteristics.

Type is the type the SbTypeInfo<>-specialization is for. It is always defined.

ParamType is a type deemed to be efficient for function parameter transfer. It is always defined.

If the type is a primitive type that has
