I don't see any typeid inside of that function in the current version.

I don't know if we explicitly test this - by maybe we do.  I'm sure that
I would have expected a user to use one or the other of the two methods
rather than both.

Some previous versions of the library were very slow when doing
some operations related to exported types.  I believe this problem
no longer exists. Of course, without knowing which version you're using
I can't say if this is a problem.
