$type

The Xc++ language allows for reflecting a given type using $type.

For example the following declaration appears in the ceda-core header UTRoot.h:

$type+ xvector<pref<IObject> >;

A declaration $type T allows for the following to work for T

const TypeOps& GetTypeOps<T>()
ReflectionByteCode GetReflectionByteCode<T>();
const TypeOps* FindTypeOps(ReflectionByteCode rbc);

This is needed to allow an xmap<K,V> to work for types K and V.
