We've now had a user request that could be solved by adding a BOOST_NO_RTTI macro, that (when set) would disable Boost's use of constructs that use run-time type information (dynamic_cast, typeid, etc.), similar to our BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS.

I'll plan to add it unless there is violent disagreement.
I thought BOOST_NO_XXX macros, where XXX is as standard C++ feature, were supposed to be _detection_ macros (?)
Okay, so let's have BOOST_NO_RTTI defined when the compiler/environment does not support RTTI, and we can use it to turn off use of RTTI in some Boost components :) But Peter is right, there are macros here... perhaps BOOST_NO_RTTI and BOOST_NO_DYNAMIC_RTTI, with the former implying the latter. Doug
