Channel's usage of RTTI has been removed. For components, some design decisions need to be made, since a component::idFunction would not be templated.

Options are:
CRTP "component" and make a component base.
Use the address of debug_getName
Use a virtual idFunction

All of these suffer from the same problem; namely, that not propagating through inheritance (ei, bar : foo : component<foo>) causes problems;

bar1 : foo : component<foo> == bar2 : foo : component<foo>

We need to use an address of a function that will be defined by the most-derived class, always. The constructor doesn't seem to work.

I'll ask Stack Overflow
