      OK.

      I will definitely use it, it is a very nice addition to the tools. 
It would also help if you added the construct you wrote

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

template<typename T>
struct string_type_name;

#define DEFINE_TYPE_NAME(Type)            \
template<> struct string_type_name<Type>  \
{                                \
   static char const *  _()               \
   {                             \
      return #Type;                 \
   }                             \
}

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

to a common header, as I believe I am not the only one who would benefit
from it!

      BTW, what now replaces unit_test_log ?

      OK.
