On Intel Linux 9.0 __typeof__ seems to always work - even for 'icpc 
-cxxlib-icc -strict-ansi -no-gnu-keywords'. So, if __linux__ is defined 
it should be okay. I have no idea if they added typeof to windows.

I don't have access Comeau, but looking at:

http://www.comeaucomputing.com/4.3.0/minor/linux/compat.html#gnucppcompat

it seems that if __GNUG__ is defined then 'typeof' will work. Comeau 
online doesn't accept the --g++ switch so I couldn't test that.
