The policy is that if your frontend needs RTTI, you can use it. (Diaspora uses it, for example.) But RTTI is not in swordlib, and shall not be because it needs to be portable. If you just need to know which class a given object belongs to, we have our own implementation of RTTI-like functionality using SWClass. --Chris
