It's my understanding that as of MSVC8.0 the MS compiler no longer
contains the bug used to implement typeof, so we don't get native
typeof. I'm unsure about the status of the bug or native typeof in the
next Visual Studio (Orcas?).

There may be considerable scope for improving this library if native
typeof and variadic macros make it into C++0x.
