what would you want me to do ?
what about inheritance? 
in mt simple metaclass stuff I propagate the information through a macro
if I want to have this feature for a derived class (ths parent class must 
have it of course)


I add something like that to the class Class

Macro(Class, Parent class);

then I have things like
- getClassName()
- isTypeOf()
- isA()

where Macro is defined like this

#define Macro(thisClass,superclass) \
virtual const char *getClassName() const {return #thisClass;};\
static bool isTypeOf(const char *type) \
{ \
  if ( !strcmp(#thisClass,type) ) \
    { \
    return 1; \
    } \
  return superclass::isTypeOf(type); \
} \
virtual bool isA(const char *type) \
{ \
  return this->thisClass::isTypeOf(type); \
}

as you can see what I did is simple but was ok for what I want.

what do you plan to do about this?
this==inheritance
