I don't think ...EXPORT should be required with explicity type registration.
Please check this.

hurt.  Putting it in the header implicitly puts it into the implementation
anyway since the implemenation includes the header.

Hmmm - I was sure that I enhanced the documentation to explain this.
I'll double check.
