No, to call a static method you'd have to get to the compile time 
class; you'd have to actually do A.myName or cast(A) on a created 
object.

Like Jacob said though, the name is available as classinfo.name.

Anything else would best be done with an interface you can cast 
to and call some abstract methods.


BTW, it is potentially possible to do something with the magic 
RTInfo but I don't think that's available outside the druntime, 
so while we could potentially do more in theory, in practice 
probably not right now. We'd have to work something out between 
druntime and user extensibility.
