'instanceof'

[MN...@tacintel.com]

Is there a way to test 'instanceof' in a macro?

This would be very handy.

Thanks,
Michael

If you don't care about the concept of MVC then you could do something
like:

#if ($foo.getClass().isAssignableFrom($bar.getClass()))
...
#end

But trust me - you wouldn't want that ;) Nathan's solution is much
better. It is a sign of bad design [ :) ] when you have to use operators
like 'instanceof' in a template.
