I am unaware of such schemes.

The "User interface", at the moment, consists of 5 (pretty easy to use, I
think) macros:

BOOST_TYPEOF(expr)
BOOST_AUTO(var, expr)
BOOST_TYPEOF_PRESERVE_LVALUE(expr)

BOOST_TYPEOF_REGISTER_TYPE(T)
BOOST_TYPEOF_REGISTER_TEMPLATE(Name, nParams)

and whatever we deside to go with in terms of ID generation.

What exactly is lacking?
