Oh yes! T needs to be in the tuple of function arguments. Phylogeny however does not have any parametric fields, so I'm unsure about using T with it. Would:
function TreeAnnotations{T}(x::Phylogeny, ::Type{T}) return TreeAnnotations(x, NodeAnnotations{T}()) end Be more acceptable and suitably Julian? Best, Ben.
