25  Foam::typeInfo
26 
27 Description
28  Basic run-time type information using word as the type's name.
29  Used to enhance the standard RTTI to cover I/O.
30 
31  The user can get the type's type name using the type info access function
32  \code
33  type()
34  \endcode
35 
36  The reference type cast template function:
37  \code
38  refCast<T>(r)
39  \endcode
40 
41  wraps dynamic_cast to handle the bad_cast exception and generate a
42  FatalError.
43 
44  The isA function:
45  \code
46  isA<T>(r)
47  \endcode
48 
49  returns true if r is of type T or derived from type T.
