 * \brief A simple <tt>std::type_info</tt> wrapper that implements value semantic for type information objects
 *
 * The type info wrapper is very useful for storing type information objects in containers,
 * as a key or value. It also provides a number of useful features, such as default construction
 * and assignment support, an empty state and extended support for human-friendly type names.
