/** \struct boost::bimaps::tags::support::value_type_of
\brief Metafunction to work with tagged and untagged type uniformly

\code
template< class Type >
struct value_type_of
{
    typedef {UntaggedType} type;
};
\endcode

If the type is tagged this metafunction returns Type::value_type, and if it is not
tagged it return the same type. This allows to work consistenly with tagged and
untagged types.

See also tagged, tag_of.
