That's not enough to make runtime dispatch out of static dispatch:

```d
class Whoami {
     string name(this This)() const {
         return __traits(identifier, This);
     }

     string rtname() const {
         import std.path : extension;

         return typeid(this).name.extension[1 .. $];
     }
}

class AnotherOne : Whoami { }

unittest {
     import std.algorithm : map, equal;

     auto list = [new Whoami, new AnotherOne];
     assert(list.map!(o => o.name).equal(["Whoami", "Whoami"]));
     assert(list.map!(o => o.rtname).equal(["Whoami", 
"AnotherOne"]));
}
```

The next stage of complication is to have compiled library code 
that loops over Whoami[] getting some subtypes of Whoami that 
were defined unknowable to the library.
