It’s not that I hate type checking, I just expected there to be an easier way to get just the type ala PHP’s gettype().

To me type checking:
1. Moves many runtime errors to compile time
2. Opens doors to polymorphism

Lawrie, thanks for bringing that up! getQualifiedClassName() does seem to be the same as the “name” node in describeType()’s return value.
