I tried replacing this SIP code with:

        WTF::Vector<unsigned char, 0> &codeBlock();

with:

        typedef WTF::Vector<unsigned char, 0> foo;
        foo &codeBlock();

but the result is still a syntax error. (I also added the
corresponding C++ typedef in %TypeHeaderCode to check if that made any
difference). Did I perhaps misinterpret the suggested workaround?

Thanks, Shaheed

P.S. I did look at parser.y, and AFAICS anything template-related
seemed to involve cpptypelist, and that seems to disallow a literal.
