Certainly not me. I'm astonished that this is how the error message  
is meant to be interpreted. It is =not= what it says.

In particular, the first part states that  
FUNCTION_PROTOTYPE_PRIMITIVE_CENTERED is the "signature of the  
redefined feature". According to Philippe, this was not the intended  
meaning. Now that Philippe has explained it, I understand that the  
first sentence is not intended to refer to line 13.

The error message is extremely misleading.
