Short answer: no.  Some compilers implement typeof(), though not the
one we really want, and there exist several elaborate schemes which
attempt to simulate this capability in portable C++, but they're not
automatic.

Is this a C++ library development question or should it be pursued
elsewhere (e.g. comp.lang.c++.moderated)?
