I`ve implemented an almost full featured type_info that does not use
RTTI and returns pretty-printing names.

Now you can use it like:

typedef mpl::equal_to<mpl::int_<11>,
metafunction_to_test<mpl::int_<13> >::type> mpl_eq_lazy_result;
std::cout << get_template_info<mpl_eq_lazy_result>().name_demangled();
// shall output boost::mpl::equal_to<mpl_::int_<11>, mpl_::int_<20> >
 on MSVC

I`ve started a new thread called '[boost] Is there interest in
copyable type_info that does not require RTTI (was: Is there interest
in typeid(TYPE).name() like function that does not require RTTI)',

I`ll clean up the code and commit it at this or next week.
