typeof resolves at compile time, if you want the actual class name you
should use classinfo.

import std.stdio;

class A
{
   int a;
}

class B
{
   int b;
}

void main()
{
   int n;
   Object a = new A;
   Object b = new B;

   writefln("%s %s %s", typeof(n).stringof, 
                        a.classinfo.name, b.classinfo.name);
}
