Description
I was looking in to how to color a vector quantity on a per-element basis, which basically means adding a ScalarQuantity or ColorQuantity to a VectorQuantity.
My first approach to this was to try and make a VectorQuantity a Structure, but that creates an error around isEnabled()
polyscope/src/../include/polyscope/structure.h:96:8: note: member found by ambiguous name lookup
bool isEnabled();
Have you had any thought about the right way to do this?

Research direction
Start by reading include/polyscope/structure.h, especially the isEnabled() declaration and the ambiguity reported when VectorQuantity is made a Structure. Trace how VectorQuantity, ScalarQuantity, and ColorQuantity are represented, then determine the project-approved API for per-element vector coloring. Done should include a settled design that supports the requested coloring without the reported name conflict.
