For maximum simplicity, you could define a default outer constructor:
Minmax() = Minmax{Xy}(Xy(0,0),Xy(0,0))
And then your example works (without the type parameter). If you want to
specify the type, then you need to slightly generalize this default
constructor to something like:
Minmax{T}(::Type{T}) = Minmax{T}(T(0,0),T(0,0))
Is that roughly what you were trying to do?
