<p>
      The idea of representing a type as multiple compile-time integers, and passing
      these integers across function boundaries using sizeof(), was taken from Steve
      Dewhurst's article "A Bitwise typeof Operator", CUJ 2002. This article
      can also be viewed online, at <a href="http://www.semantics.org/localarchive.html" target="_top">http://www.semantics.org/localarchive.html</a>.

      Special thank you to Paul Mensonides, Vesa Karvonen, and Aleksey Gurtovoy for
      the Boost Preprocessor Library and MPL. Without these two libraries, this typeof
      implementation would not exist.
