def __tc_register_member(child)
  type = child.inferred_type()
  if (type.nil?)
    cname = child.name.split("::").last
    pname = self.name.split("::").last
    error = "Invalid name: '#{cname}'! Child class names must end with '#{pname}'."
    raise TypeCollection::InvalidChildType.new(error)
  end
  __tc_members()[type] = child
end

#inherited(child) ⇒ Object

Overrides the default behavior when being extended by a child class. It ensures the child is mapped for future retrieval and checks the subclass name to ensure it is a valid one
