[boost] [variant] RTTI

I need something similar to variant to optimize dynamic dispatches in my 
application much like what GIL uses. Unfortunately one of my target 
platforms does not support RTTI.

How much does variant rely on the facilities of RTTI?

Is it reasonable/possible to consider replacing RTTI to remove that 
dependency? I had to add a BOOST_NO_RTTI config macro locally several 
months ago in order to use lexical_cast. Perhaps RTTI could be used 
conditionally based on something similar.

Thanks,
