 Reflection is a mechanism making it possible to investigate yourself. Reflection is used to investigate format of objects at runtime, invoke methods and access fields of these objects. Here we provide static const functions that are resolved at compile time and they give information about the data (normal, color etc.) supported by the current vertex type.
