Why do generated SemanticEditPolicies call IElementType? [message #17247]

Is it bed to implement all semantic edit logic in appropriate
SemanticEditPolicy? As I can see generated EditHelpers do nothing useful.
If we want to share common code we can do it within edit policies. Why
should we call to IElementTypes?

Hello!

The right place for commands in most cases is edit policy; we try to
hook extensibility facility based on edit helpers and advices so clients
could extend diagram editing semantic in a diagram-independent way (I
mean only in context of domain model). We generate default edit helpers
and advices since they allow us to enable this facility.
