And if they dont then come the problems. Whether they do or not  I need to use
it. At least a common format for eg the header name and location in the
library-authors directories would help. I'm not expecting any other library
authors to add the typeof functionality that I need. I'm happy to do it myself,
but there needs to be a way to prevent multiple registrations. That means
specifying some common format for everyone to use.

Removing one type registration from my quantities library I stopped the
compilation at around 17000 lines of errror code.
Whatever was at the top of it was something to do with mpl::size_t<somenumber>.
which I had never heard of

 IOW No we dont ;-)
