A question, and a comment.
1) What does that mean? Objects don't have types: variables have types, objects
have classes (http://www.javasoft.com/docs/books/jls/html/4.doc.html#24887).
o.getClass() is the class of the object. I don't mean to be pedantic, but if
there is really some TclBlend requirement here I would like to understand it.
2) The examples in the TclBlend docs I have seen that warn against using
o.getClass() are framed in terms of subclasses. In this small test case,
o.getClass() refers to java.util.Vector, and not any subclass of that.
