[boost] Is there any way to get typeid() to return the derived class name?

Hi,
I've been looking through the boost library and I haven't been able to find anything that works
like typeid() that returns the exact (i.e. derived) class name instead of just the base class.

I want to compare two derived classes to make sure that they are of the same class, but typeid()
only returns the name of the base class.

If there is a boost function that does this, or if someone has a way of doing it could you please
point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
   Chris Just
