Will require to change the DWP, since type_info is described as :

  18.5.1  Class type_info                                [lib.type.info]
  namespace std {
    class type_info {
    public:
      virtual ~type_info();
      bool operator==(const type_info& rhs) const;
      bool operator!=(const type_info& rhs) const;
      bool before(const type_info& rhs) const;
      const char* name() const;
    private:
      type_info(const type_info& rhs);
      type_info& operator=(const type_info& rhs);
    };
  }

meaning, one can't derived from it, since it's the ONLY constructor it has
is private.

Never the less, at a first glance :

>>      const extended_type_info &btype =
>>          dynamic_cast<const extended_type_info &>(typeid(B));

Seems like a VERY nice syntax indeed.
