/// boost::typeindex::ctti_type_index class can be used as a drop-in replacement 
/// for std::type_index.
///
/// It is used in situations when typeid() method is not available or 
/// BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_FORCE_NO_RTTI_COMPATIBILITY macro is defined.

// That's the most trickiest part of the TypeIndex library:
//      1) we do not want to give user ability to manually construct and compare `struct-that-represents-type`
//      2) we need to distinguish between `struct-that-represents-type` and `const char*`
//      3) we need a thread-safe way to have references to instances `struct-that-represents-type`
//      4) we need a compile-time control to make sure that user does not copy or
// default construct `struct-that-represents-type`
//
// Solution would be the following:

/// \class ctti_data
/// Standard-layout class with private constructors and assignment operators.
///
/// You can not work with this class directly. The  purpose of this class is to hold type info 
/// \b when \b RTTI \b is \b off and allow ctti_type_index construction from itself.
///
/// \b Example:
/// \code
/// const detail::ctti_data& foo();
/// ...
/// type_index ti = type_index(foo());
/// std::cout << ti.pretty_name();
/// \endcode
