Provide information on when user defined types are reloaded

In the documentation I couldn't find any information on when the *.xml files with user-defined types are actually loaded. If I didn't oversee this it would be nice to have this documented somewhere, possibly even printed out to debug output in VS. If this is unknown it's hard to know when a change will apply once the *.xml file was changed. Does it apply immediately? After restarting the debug session? After restarting VS? After rebooting the OS?

The xml file is reloaded if it was modified since the last load each time variables has to be processed, so e.g. after a breakpoint is hit. I guess this means immediately.
EDIT: Yes, this information should probably be added to the documentation.

I agree that some logs should be added so I'll treat this as a feature request.
EDIT: you proposed logging already here: #46

Thanks for your fast answer.
Yes, logging in general I proposed in the other issue already. Here it's just an optional extension for me.
