[boost] Type as String Library

I have need of a library that converts a compile time type
to a string. For example:

namespace testNamespace {
    struct aStruct{};
}

void main()
{
   std::cout << TypeString<int>::str() << std::endl;
   std::cout << TypeString<aStruct>::str() << std::endl;
}

would output:

int
testNamespace::aStruct

I have been playing around with code that does this, but I
wanted to make sure I wasn't duplicating any work that someone
else has already done. I looked through the boost sandbox,
but didn't find anything. Am I missing something? If not, is 
this something that there would be interested in having?
Clearly it would be compiler dependent but I know I can get it
to work on Visual Studio and I think I could do it with gcc.
