"This function returns the name of the class of which the object obj is an
instance."
The name of the class is "myClass", therefore the behavior is as it should
be.
"thisInstance" is an object, not a class. If you are trying to do something
imparticular you'll have to be more specific.
As for getting the name "thisInstance", I'm not really sure why you'd need
to, so I can't think of a work-around.
Since "thisInstance" is the name of the object, you need some object related
function. I've never had to do it, so I have no clue how, but maybe someone
else will know :)
