I totally agree with this, except native typeof is not available on most
compilers.  Considering the fact that companies tend to stick with compilers
(like many still use VC6 -- believe it or not), the native typeof is not
going to be available to most people for a few more years after the typeof
is in the Standard.

Are we willing to wait 3 - 5 years?
