I'm just taken a cursory look at this scheme. But it likes it might be similar or even identical to that implemented by the serialization library to recover types for serialized pointers. See extended_type_info.

Well, this is not the first time I am re-inventing the wheel... Time for the "scatterred enum" idiom? :) Most importantly, does this scheme really work in practice? Is it easy enough for end users, and does it allow users and libraries to avoid collisions with each other? Arkadiy
