What compile-time string should I use for instance in a constructed
switch statement? I'm trying to implement serialization and
deserialization of classes, but I really would like to avoid using a
class enum if possible, since the type id is already there and
generated by the compiler.
I solved that by storing the class info as the key in an associative
array [1]. But it looks like Adam's solution will work as well.
If you ideas, you can always have a look at Orange.

Thanks for all the replies, guys. Annoying that the compiler has
generated these names but doesn't make them accessible at compile-time.
