Ah, a classical waste of type info implementation. Always noice to see those in projects, they are a big sign post of things to come.
Admin
In C++ such class are sometimes used for disambiguing constructors that would otherwise be the same.
Admin
TRWTF is that it doesn't implement an interface, right? :P

The cache cow has blessed this code.

At least it avoids the other hard problem: Cache invalidation.

You guys really need to stop posting nonsense like "Gulf of America" exists :-)
Edit Admin
Google believes the nonsense: https://www.google.com/maps/place/New+Orleans,+LA/@28.8933855,-94.7756446,6z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x8620a454b2118265:0xdb065be85e22d3b4!8m2!3d29.9508941!4d-90.0758356!16zL20vMGYydGo?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDIwNS4xIKXMDSoJLDEwMjExMjMzSAFQAw%3D%3D

Yeah, I know it was a funny day. First here in Austria selecting the English language on google resulted in the German name being shown ("Golf of Mexiko") for a few hours. And now we have "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)" - and apparently this topic is highly political in the US now with especially on reddit mods having a field day. I personally just find it hilarious honestly, it's so American (aka extra special :D).

Certainly looks like an invalid cache.

When I first read that, I skipped the "naming things", and thought the story was about "off by one errors", and then turned into a caching story. Talk about "off by one errors"!!!
