That's not enough to make runtime dispatch out of static dispatch:

```d
class Whoami {
    string name(this This)() const {
        return __traits(identifier, This);
    }

    string rtname() const {
        import std.path : extension;

        return typeid(this).name.extension[1 .. $];
    }
}

class AnotherOne : Whoami { }

unittest {
    import std.algorithm : map, equal;

    auto list = [new Whoami, new AnotherOne];
    assert(list.map!(o => o.name).equal(["Whoami", "Whoami"]));
    assert(list.map!(o => o.rtname).equal(["Whoami", 
"AnotherOne"]));
}
```

The next stage of complication is to have compiled library code 
that loops over Whoami[] getting some subtypes of Whoami that 
were defined unknowable to the library.
