...one of the most highly
regarded and expertly designed C++ library projects in the
world.

The TTI library came out of my effort to take the type_traits_ext
part of the unfinished Concept Traits Library and expand it. So my first thanks
go to Terje Slettebo and Tobias Schwinger, the authors of the CTL. I have taken,
and hopefully improved upon, the ideas and implementation in that library,
and added some new functionality.
I would also like to thank Joel Falcou for his help and his introspection work.
Two of the introspection templates are taken from the MPL and lifted into my library under a different name for the sake of completeness, so I would like to thank Aleksey Gurtovoy and David Abrahams for that library, and Daniel Walker for work on those MPL introspection macros.
Finally thanks to Anthony Williams for supplying a workaround for a Visual C++ bug which is needed for introspecting member data where the type of the member data is a compound type.
