Hi!

I'd like to know how I can make a match on an object's dynamic type. Let
a be an abstract class. Let b and c be two class which inherit from a.
I'd like to write a method which looks like this:

method foo (bar : a) =
    match "a's dynamic type" with
       b -> do_something()
     | c -> do_something_else()

If anyone of you could explain me how to do this... Google didn't really
help me about this, and I didn't find the answer (which is quite rare :)
) in the O'Reilly book.

Cheers
