Thanks for the clarification, Dicebot. Does it mention those 
points in the docs, because I don't remember seeing them? So we 
could be looking at something closer to:

  import std.string;
  import std.stdio;

  class Foo{
    int a;
  }

  class Bar: Foo{
    int b;
  }

  void main(){
    Foo bar = new Bar();
    writeln ("class name: " ~ 
bar.classinfo.name[bar.classinfo.name.lastIndexOf(".") .. 
$].dup);
  }

if I'm correct?

Yes. You don't need .dup though and it will be `lastIndexOf + 1` 
for the start index but key idea is solid.

This is not explicitly mentioned anywhere because "runtime type 
information" (http://dlang.org/phobos/object.html#.Classinfo) is 
a wide-spread term with strong meaning.
