Sorry.  I meant it matches except for the _ZTI prefix:
_ZTIl == type info of long

It also saves typing in that new class in the header file.  :-)
But it saves a vtable and type_info for that class.

We have a demamgler library using lots of virtual functions and it has
over 19 Kb of C++ metadata.  Where adding a simple tag (with lots of switches)
would save lots of data space.

With the typeid(std::nullptr_t) new case, you probably only need to check
in a few places.
