Dear Friends at Epic,
We are encouraged to create custom editor modes as follows:
/**
* Class responsible for maintaining a list of registered editor mode types.
*
* Example usage:
*
* Register your mode type with:
* FEditorModeRegistry::Get().RegisterMode<FMyEditorMode>( FName( TEXT("MyEditorMode") ) );
* or:
* class FMyEditorModeFactory : public IEditorModeFactory
* {
* virtual void OnSelectionChanged( FEditorModeTools& Tools, UObject* ItemUndergoingChange ) const override;
* virtual FEditorModeInfo GetModeInfo() const override;
* virtual TSharedRef<FEdMode> CreateMode() const override;
* };
* TSharedRef<FMyEditorModeFactory> Factory = MakeShareable( new FMyEditorModeFactory );
* FEditorModeRegistry::Get().RegisterMode( FName( TEXT("MyEditorMode") ), Factory );
*
* Unregister your mode when it is no longer available like so (this will prompt the destruction of any existing modes of this type):
* FEditorModeRegistry::Get().UnregisterMode( FName( TEXT("MyEditorMode") ) );
*/
However I did that, and I get this compiler linker error!

(was not necessary in 4.2 so I was confused at first)
