Detailed Description

template<class This, class Base = object>
struct classdesc::Object< This, Base >

template for handling polymorphic heirarchy, saves having to explicitly declare all the virtual functions. Uses the curiously recurring template pattern. Declare a new type foo, derived from bar having type identifier t as

class foo: public
Object<foo,t,bar> 
{...

NB. This class is unsuitable as a base of an abstract class. Use object for that purpose instead.
