Hello, I trying to add custom attribute OnClickListener, the 
problem is that typeof always return BaseView type instead of 
MyView.
struct OnClickListener {
    string id;
}
class BaseView {
    void onCreate() {
        writeln(getSymbolsByUDA!(typeof(this), 
OnClickListener).stringof);
    }
}

class MyView : BaseView {
    @OnClickListener("okButton")
    void onOkButtonClick() {
        writeln("Hello world!");
    }
}

typeof returns a static type not a dynamic type.
If there is a branch of the function that does not return myview 
the closed base-type is used.
