'Will there be a standard typelist?

Why isn't there a standard typelist in the C++ standard? I would think that something so useful for generic programming (as shown in reflection's ObjectSequence) would be a good candidate for standardization, instead of the myriad implementations around. Are there plans to add one?

Will there be a standard typelist?

If someone proposes it, and it is voted in by the committee, then there will be.

Why isn't there a standard typelist in the C++ standard?

Either because it hasn't been proposed, or because such proposal hasn't been voted in by the committee (yet).

You can find the proposals here: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/
