NAME
       typename_macro, pretty_typename_macro - type demangler and pretty printer

DESCRIPTION
       These preprocessor macro-definitions are usefull when dealing with complex types as generated by imbricted template technics: they print in
       clear a complex type at run-time.  typeid_name_macro obtains a human readable type in a std::tring form by calling the system typeid  func-
       tion and then a demangler.  When this type is very long, pretty_name_macro prints also it in a multi-line form with a pretty indentation.

EXAMPLES
	 typedef map <size_t, double, less<size_t>, heap_allocator<pair<size_t,double> > >  map_type;
	 cout << typeid_name_macro (map_type);

IMPLEMENTATION
       extern std::string typeid_name (const char* name, bool do_indent);

       /// @brief get string from a type, with an optional pretty-printing for complex types
       #define	      typename_macro(T) typeid_name(typeid(T).name(), false)
       #define pretty_typename_macro(T) typeid_name(typeid(T).name(), true)

       /// @brief get string type from a variable or expression
       template <class T> std::string	     typename_of (T x) { return        typename_macro(T); }
       template <class T> std::string pretty_typename_of (T x) { return pretty_typename_macro(T); }
