What happened to the typeid/type_info proposal?

[Johan Torp]

I have seen several discussions regarding adding a small
typeid/type_info library similar to
the one introduced by Alexandrescu in Modern C++ Design.

Has there been any progress on this issue?

In my Boost.Log library implementation I have such type_info wrapper.
I proposed to extract it from the library as a separate header in the
Boost.Log alpha announcement not long ago, but I got no feedback.

In case if you're interested, the implementation is in the Vault:

You may find the wrapper in boost/log/detail/type_info_wrapper.hpp.
If it is considered to be worth extracting from the library, I could
easily do that.

I am definitely interested! I believe others are too since it has been proposed in the past.
