// ObjectId.IsTypeOf<T>() extension method:
//
// returns true if the managed wrapper returned
// by opening the given ObjectId is an instance
// of the generic argument type or a derived type.
//
// Example: Tells if the DBObject referenced by
// the given ObjectId is an instance of a Curve:
//
// ObjectId id = GetSomeObjectId();
//
// bool isCurve = id.IsTypeOf<Curve>();
//
// The advantage in the above use of IsTypeOf<T>() is
// that it doesn't require the RXClass for Curve to be
// fetched on each call, because it is already cached
// in a static member of the generic RXClass<Curve> type.
//
// The other benefit is that IsTypeOf<T>() can be
// used anywhere, and without a transaction, since
// it doesn't need to open the database object.
//
// The same can also be done more directly,
// but less-intuitively:
//
// bool isCurve = id.ObjectClass.IsAssignableTo<Curve>();
//
//
// And of course, without using any of these helper APIs,
// one would need to do:
//
// bool isCurve = id.ObjectClass.IsDerivedFrom(
// RXClass.GetClass( typeof( Curve ) )
// );
//
