    /* This really only depends on Tag, but we go through some gymnastics to avoid ODR violations.
       We template it on the point type PointT to avoid ODR violations when registering multiple
       point types with shared tags.
       The dummy parameter is so we can partially specialize name on PointT and Tag but leave it
       templated on dummy. Each specialization declares a static char array containing the tag
       name. The definition of the static member would conflict when linking multiple translation
       units that include the point type registration. But when the static member definition is
       templated (on dummy), we sidestep the ODR issue.
