I'm not MS guru ;) But quick check at MSDN revealed that it has __typeof
operator, unfortunatelly it's meaning is far from needed. It's defined
only for Managed C++ projects (those compiled for .NET platform), its
operand is name of managed type (not variable name!)and result is "type
object" (instance of System::Type), which is entity closely tied with
CLR execution environment.

I do not know if in VC71 there's anything with meaning similar to
"typeof" or "decltype", as discussed in
http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2003/n1478.pdf

.. but I doubt so :(
