[C++-sig] def with name parser

[Leonard "paniq" Ritter]

as far as i see, the second method is also possible as a template, and 
using overloads multiple versions of that def can be supported

here's the simplest case, bit of pseudo

template <typename L, typename T>
L& def_autoname(T func)
{
    return def(parse(typeid(func).name()),func);
}
