+If you know a variable is `::Type{<:Pose2}` but want to find its default prior `::Type{<:PriorPose2}`.
+
+Assumptions
+- The prior type will be defined in the same module as the variable type.
+- Not exported per default, but can be used with knowledge of the caveats.
+
+Example
+```julia
+using RoME
+@assert RoME.PriorPose2 == DFG._getPriorType(Pose2)
+```
