Description
    Basic run-time type information using word as the type's name.
    Used to enhance the standard RTTI to cover I/O.
 
    The user can get the type's type name using the type info access function
    \code
        type()
    \endcode
 
    The reference type cast template function:
    \code
        refCast<T>(r)
    \endcode
 
    wraps dynamic_cast to handle the bad_cast exception and generate a
    FatalError.
 
    The isA function:
    \code
        isA<T>(r)
    \endcode
 
    returns true if r is of type T or derived from type T.
