[Boost-users] Mapping from type to value

What is the best practice for creating a map from a type to a value?

Currently I do it like this:
=====================================
struct SomeMap
{
   template<typename T> static const std::string& LookUp();
};

template <> const std::string& SomeMap::LookUp<int>()
{
  static const std::string s("int");
  return s;
}
=====================================
...but this seems far from optimal.
