You might not need both of these:
#import <objc/objc-class.h>
#import <objc/objc-runtime.h>
Also, I'm trying to heed the warning in the docs that state:

// The Class struct's super_class member is NULL for root classes,
// so climb the inheritance tree until we get to the root
while(NULL != aClass->super_class)
aClass = aClass->super_class;
// Now we have a root class, now we can check to see if it's NSObject
if (0 == strncmp(aClass->name, "NSObject", 8))

Unfortunately, -class is one of the methods you can't safely call until you
verify that you have an NSObject descendant. :-(
