Thanks a lot for taking a look! I missed that "using" does not do the
trick for a definition. I guess its time to read a C++ book :)

I am happy to hear that this is a proper solution. My fear was that I
was missing a mechanism, which announces the type to Bro. My thought was
that in this case the limited visibility might become an issue.

Big thanks for your support!
