Dear Boost,

MSVC differs from GCC & Clang in the way it present the pretty_name of a
type_info within Type Index.

Indeed for the following type : struct why {};

Is presented as `struct why` while on GCC it is `why`.

Is there any reason why pretty_name wouldn't strip / add the information
from one of the compiler in order to reach a cross-plaftorm string name
of types ?

GCC: http://coliru.stacked-crooked.com/a/1aa52003605d4936

Would such a patch to the library be possible & welcome ?
Best regards,
