I've been wondering why does typeid(Foo).toString (where Foo is a struct name) return "MODULE_NAME.Foo", while typeid(Bar).toString (where Bar is a class) returns just "Bar". Is there any reason for it ? How about unifying these ?

So there are at least a few bugs with what TypeInfo.toString returns for various types.  Here's another:
