Currently, class PortHole is also responsible for the type resolution algorithm that assigns specific types to ANYTYPE portholes. It would probably be better to put that function in Geodesic, which would make it simpler to provide domain-specific type resolution rules. This improvement must await a redesign of the PortHole/Geodesic structure.
