// \brief A type generator for the default types (those used in vpdl)
// \date March 5, 2009
//
// The default field types are scalar, fixed vector, and variable vector
// This class acts as an inverse to vpdt_field_traits.  From the scalar
// type (T) and dimension (n), it produces the default field type according to:
// - For n > 1 the field type is vnl_vector_fixed<T,n>
// - For n == 1 the field type is T
// - For n == 0 the field type is vnl_vector<T>
//
// The n == 0 indicates that the dimension is dynamic and set at run time.
