Do not set the full type name as type alias. Pass only the true type name to RFieldBase::Create(). The true type name will contain Long64_t and Double32_t type name tokens, so we are still able to treat those correctly. The full type name would provide additional information. However, normalizing the full type name can cause header auto parsing. Also, the full type name, in general, cannot be used directly because it may be a type that is only valid within the class context.

LGTM! One possibility for cleanup, I believe.
Do we want to backport to ROOT v6.36 to help experiments, or will this be released with 6.40 only?

For my education, what exactly do "full type name" and "true type name" mean in this context? |
