Some general traits classes

copy_traits : Make pointers copyable even when its a pointer to a base class. This is needed to use a copy-on-write smart pointer with polymorphic types.

type_name_traits : Get a types name as string. Specialized for the built-in types.

Conversion of arbitrary types to strings

See as-string.h : Uses strstream to achieve that.
