Subject: Allow non-loadable types in collections
X-Git-Url: http://git.tdb.fi/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=465ac6c7ceda80ce7e2f6e3f7b6901ce0921406e;p=libs%2Fdatafile.git

Allow non-loadable types in collections

Custom collection classes may wish to provide objects of such types
through creator functions.
