I need to retrieve an instance of TypeInfo from an object instance at

TypeInfo info = typeid(obj) // does not work, only compile time
TypeInfo info = obj.classinfo.????; // how to navigate to TypeInfo?
Is that possible?
If not, why? And can it be added (D1)?
There is no way that I know of to do so, and I've looked into the issue
previously. -- I don't know how TypeInfo is instantiated; I imagine it's
in the data segment of the executable; so it should be possible to
examine all symbols in an executable to find TypeInfo instances and
determine what they refer to. However, the language and runtime lack
support for this.
