Not really. What I want to do is have the object tell me what it is. 
Unless I'm really misunderstanding isInstanceOf, I have to iterate 
through all the possibilities. Plus, my brain is probably just fried, 
but I'm not seeing how to use it in a match, so I'm having to run 
through a bunch of if statements. I know there's a better way. Just 
can't see it at 3:45 AM.
