In my Boost.Log library implementation I have such type_info wrapper.
I proposed to extract it from the library as a separate header in the
Boost.Log alpha announcement not long ago, but I got no feedback.

In case if you're interested, the implementation is in the Vault:

You may find the wrapper in boost/log/detail/type_info_wrapper.hpp.
If it is considered to be worth extracting from the library, I could
easily do that.
