It applear my last solution doesn't work as is, since the second type alias overwrites the first. The workaounrd I found is the making the second alias to the first typealias, i.e.,
typealias TypeA SomeType
TypeA(value::Int) = SomeType("A", value)
typealias TypeB TypeA
TypeB(value::Int) = SomeType("B", value)
I think this might be the result of the way the Julia parser holds
typealiases, but can't say if this is a matter of design or a bug. I'll
post a different thread on the matter.
