I agree that it is no longer relevant. It has been removed.

One of the major tasks solved by this implementation, was to add
support for template nested class registration (required in order to
register dinkumware stl-iterators) The new typeof techniques for VC
compilers makes this approach redundant (except for VC8)
Even so, this may still be useful for other compilers, so I'll leave it.
