Description

If a user's type system declares an identical named feature on a supertype and one of its subtypes, it works as long as the supertype definition comes first in the XML type system descriptor. (The subtype definition is ignored.) But if the subtype definition comes first, then the feature is only created on the subtype, NOT the supertype. We should make this consistent, so that the feature is always created on the supertype.
