[chuck-users] determining the type of an Object in code

[mike clemow]

Hi Daniel,

I personally believe that it's in the best interest of the Chuck
community if this discussion stays on-list.  I hope that's okay with
you--I'm not trying to step on anyone's privacy here.  How exactly are
you getting around the typing issue?

Cheers,
Mike
