  Would it be possible to add this to boost? Something like
BOOST_HAS_RTTI? It seems like the best place to put such
a macro.

  The question is just whether enough people would find this
useful. Currently I am doing a dynamic_cast if RTTI is available
in a debug build in order to assert that the cast is valid. Otherwise
a static_cast is used.
