Suppose I have:

module test;
class X { }
class Y : X { }

Y y = new Y;

X x = y;

assert(is(typeof(x) == test.Y); // this assertion will fail
assert(typeid(x).toString() == "test.Y"); // this assertion 
will pass

Is there a way I can check the type of x without doing
a string comparison?

-Eric

assert(typeid(x) == typeid(Y));

Thanks.  That works.  I have't quite mastered the whole 
is/typeof/typeid
thing yet.
