Perhaps "on top" was incorrect and confusing.

The typeof emulation works by decomposing the type into nodes, such as types
and templates, by the means of template specializations created when
types/templates are registered.  It should not be difficult to augment the
registration macros to add one more specialization dealing with the problem
discussed.
