Geometry Boost List: [ggl] Derived classes and traits

Hello, I am starting to play with bg and I want to derive/abstract a couple
of things using it.

For example, a derived point class:

namespace bg = boost::geometry;

template <typename CoordinateType, std::size_t DimensionCount, typename
CoordinateSystem>
class MyPointType : public bg::model::point<CoordinateType, DimensionCount,
CoordinateSystem >
{
  // Add possible new functionality here.
};

typedef MyPointType<int32_t, 2, bg::cs::cartesian> MyIntPoint2;
typedef MyPointType<int32_t, 3, bg::cs::cartesian> MyIntPoint3;

This works fine. However, when trying to derive one more level, I'm facing a
problem:

class SomethingDerivedAgain : MyIntPoint3
{
public:
  SomethingDerivedAgain(...) // How to access MyIntPoint3's CoordinateType
(abstractly of course, without assuming it's int32_t) so that I can override
the (v0,v1,v2) constructor of bg::model::point ??

private:
 // Incredible new stuff here
};

Would "traits" help me achieve this ? Could you provide a snippet of usage
example ? That would be very appreciated.
Thanks!
