-// typedvalue - type-safe reference transmission of arbitrary types.
-//
-// This slight-of-hand pair of classes allows arbitrary types to be passed through an API
-// without losing C++ type safety. Specifically, the type is encapsulated in C++ polymorphism,
-// and can be resolved through the C++ typeinfo/dynamic_cast system in a fairly
-// convenient way. This is intended to replace passing (void *) arguments around.
-// It is obviously not meant to replace proper class hierarchies in APIs.
