Should be fixed in the next version. The machinery was mostly already there, but classes and interfaces that don't have any fields would not show the dynamic type. It is now also shown with braces in the type field as in other languages (C# and C++).

I also added some support for extern(C++) classes getting the derived type from the symbol name of the vtbl. No support for multiple inheritence in C++, though.

Thanks.
