It seems of I have an Object,e.g.Obj =: conew 'MyClass'
And later I want to get the type of Obj
datatype Obj
this returns "boxed", which is technically correct, but it seems datatype lacks
the introspection to look beneath the box at the object.
So is there a way to get the type (i.e. class name if possible) of an object?
e.g. I have some variable Q (which happens to be an instance of MyClass).Is
there a way to create a verb, getTypeOf, such that getTypeOf Q
returns 'MyClass'
I couldn't find anything in JForC on this. At the moment I am finding it
difficult to differentiate boxedintegers from objects.
