To retrieve an instance of TypeInfo from an object instance at
runtime.

Object obj = getSomething(); // returns a derived instance

TypeInfo info = typeid(obj) // does not work, only compile time

TypeInfo info = obj.classinfo.????; // how to navigate to TypeInfo?

ClassInfo shall have an additional field, that make that navigation possible.
