Would I be right in saying that only entities of the same dimension can be added
so SpaceType and dimension can be alternatively be seen as a container rather
than a parameter:

   Euclidean::N::Point
   Euclidean::N::Line
   Euclidean::N::SemiLine
   Euclidean::N::Segment
   Euclidean::N::Simplex
   Euclidean::N::Basis

namespace  Euclidean { namespace N{

            Point a = Point();
            a = Euclidean::N_plus_1::Point();  // Error !
}}

???
