MPL introduces a namespace called "::mpl_" (note: root namespace) by default. It is configurable with a macro.
Maybe a similar approach will work for Typeof ("::<anonymous>::boost_typeof" or so). ::<anonymous>::boost::<...> looks potentially dangerous (ambiguity) to me although I believe it /should/ work...
