hsm
Finite state machine library based on the boost hana meta programming library. It follows the principles of the boost msm and boost sml libraries, but tries to reduce own complex meta programming code to a minimum. (by erikzenker)
te
C++17 Run-time polymorphism (type erasure) library (by boost-ext)

hsm - about the same as above: header only library with a Boost dependency. Still extremely simple to read and (re)use project CML.

Type Erasure in C++ Explained
And if it were in the standard there wouldn't be at least five well known libraries implementing it (including from Adobe and from Facebook): https://github.com/boost-ext/te#similar-libraries
As far as I know (I don't really follow the committee work) the latest attempt to introduce run-time duck-typing in the standard was https://github.com/andyprowl/virtual-concepts, which seems dead.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing hsm and te you can also consider the following projects:
sml - C++14 State Machine library
dyno - Runtime polymorphism done right
