When you mean "otherwise-inexpressible", do you mean that boost::remove_pointer<id>::type fails?  (Does it do that now?  I have to go run and check…)  Or is it somehow not the same as decltype(*x) despite the fact that both decltype(*x)* and boost::remove_pointer<id>::type* would be id?

Also, does this mean that boost::is_same<objc_object, boost::remove_pointer<id>::type>::value is false or unevaluable in some compilers (where objc_object* is not convertible to id) while true in others? _______________________________________________
