The offending defect in the compiler/run-time system manifests
itself in the definition of "operator==" for std::type_info, at
typeinfo:108 in my header (from Xcode 2.4). What's happening is
that the type names (defined as "char *", not "std::string") are
being compared by address, not by content. An explanatory comment
says the following:
// In new abi we can rely on type_info's NTBS being unique,
// and therefore address comparisons are sufficient.
