Has anyone ever worked out how to do this without having to specify
the type?  E.g. with BOOST_TTI_HAS_MEMBER_DATA I need to write
something like

     has_member_data_fieldname<int ClasdName::*>::value;

The most recent time I needed something like this, I wanted to test
whether a struct contained a field with a particular name that was
convertible to a float (I think float or int16_t in that case).
I would have been happy with a test for a field with that name of
any type.  But I couldn't work out how to do it.  Any ideas?
