@n8sh created dlang/druntime pull request #2770 "Give
TypeInfo_Class/TypeInfo_Interface.isDerivedFrom like C#/Java isAssignableFrom"
fixing this issue:

- Fix Issue 20178 - Add TypeInfo_Class/TypeInfo_Interface.isDerivedFrom

  Equivalent to C#/Java isAssignableFrom with the argument swapped with
  the receiver. Naming the method "isAssignableFrom" would be more
  familiar to people coming from C#/Java but is potentially misleading:
  "alias this" and overloadable opAssign mean that this would not
  actually indicate whether values of one type could be assigned to
  another.
