This is just a compile error on master.  (You could write "using VectorType::get" in the class to force overloading, but definitions in derived classes hide definitions from the base class by default.)

-----

Could you give an example where you plan to use this?  I don't expect it's common for code to take an arbitrary vector type, and try to produce a specific vector type based on it.
