What methods do people use for storing the type of a variable or
expression with C-like type systems? Does this change any further when
you incorporate the likes of C++'s templates?

[C's type system is relatively simple, a bunch of base types along
with structures and unions, each value being one with some number of
"pointer to", "array of", and "function returning". C++ is more complex
what with templates, overloaded functions and operators. -John]
