Although this is possible, I don't think it's what you want.  For
example, the vector source has an instance variable that is of the
type of the vector.  I suspect that your derived class would ignore
that and add another instance variable.

It's probably simpler just to inherit from gr_sync_block.

In truth, with regard to gr_vector_source_* we use an ad hoc code
generation system to generate all of these.   We'd use C++ templates,
but that wouldn't help us with the .i file.
