Ok, some questions.

I thought it could have been nice to have pre-registered identification
informations for things like :
 * stl components
 * major boost component (MPl, fusion, proto, array, containers ?)

However I think this has to be done on a 'optionnal' basis like

#include <boost/identification/registration/<component_name>.hpp>

Dos this looks right or not ?
Hi,

What about using the same file name as the original one and put them in a specific directory as stl or boost?

#include <boost/identification/std/<file_name>.hpp>
#include <boost/identification/boost/<specific_lib>/<file_name>.hpp>

The typeof library follows already this schema for the STD files.

Later on when a library wants to provide a registration for its own types, it could use the following pattern

#include <boost/<specific_lib>/identification/<file_name>.hpp>

I have used this to add typeof registration to the types in my Boost.Async library.

#include <boost/async/typeof/threader.hpp>

I pre-register internal elements ?
I don't think any implicit pre-registration will be useful. The user needing a given registration need to include the corresponding file.

HTH,
Vicente
