What is type_info object?

What a typeid expression returns. As a minimum, it supports
comparison for equality (== and !=), and the functions before()
and name(); I'm pretty sure that an implementation is allowed to
add other things as well (not that I know of one that does).

Note that since it is not copiable nor assignable, you can't put
them in containers.
