/** A template to obtain the type of its argument as a string at compile time.
 *  It works with all classes derived from  CObject, plus many
 * specializations for the plain data types (bool, double, uint8_t, etc...)
 *   For example:
 *  \code
 *     cout << TTypeName<double>::get() << endl;  // "double"
 *      cout << TTypeName<CPose2D>::get() << endl; // "CPose2D"
 *  \endcode
 *
 *  Users can extend this for custom structs/classes with the macro
 * DECLARE_CUSTOM_TTYPENAME:
 *  \code
 *     class MyClass { ... };
 *     DECLARE_CUSTOM_TTYPENAME(MyClass)
 *     cout << TTypeName<MyClass>::get() << endl;  // "MyClass"
 *  \endcode
 * or alternatively, to avoid adding out-of-class macros:
 *  \code
 *     namespace MyNS {
 *      class MyClass {
 *        DECLARE_TTYPENAME_CLASSNAME(MyNS::MyClass)
 *      };
 *     }
 *     cout << TTypeName<MyNS::MyClass>::get() << endl; // "MyNS::MyClass"
 *  \endcode
 *  The following types are NOT ALLOWED since they have platform-dependant
 * sizes:
 *  - int, unsigned int
 *  - long, unsigned long
 *  - short, unsigned short
 *  - size_t
 *
 * \ingroup mrpt_typemeta_grp
