Ok... I have sent a mail to Tom Brinkman and I am reading up on the duties
involved. I assume you are happy with the dates...( I am speculating  roughly
20th May - 30 th May) ?

AFAIK there is a huge amount of interest in this subject, (see
http://www.osl.iu.edu/~jajarvi/publications/papers/decltype_n1478.pdf )

http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/vault/, typeof.zip.

 appears to be currently the 3rd  most popular download, which is good bearing 
in mind that FOREACH is  top and has  just been reviewed.

I appeal to everyone that they will be able to take the time to
provide feedback on this proposal.. ( review dates yet to be decided but 
hopefully around about 20th to 30th of May) ...which provides something like the
functionality of the decltype and auto proposals cited above, and  even with
little compile time cost on some compilers..
