digitalmars.D - Interface problem

The following program prints "X". I believe it should print "Y", as the



import std.stdio;

interface X
{
void doit();
};

class Y : X
{
void doit()
{
}
};

void writeType(X x)
{
writefln(x.classinfo.name);
}


void main(char[][] args)
{
Y y = new Y;
writeType(y);
}


Hopefully I'm just abusing the undocumented 'classinfo' thing and there is a
proper way to do this.

Here's hoping...

Si


P.S. I've worked around this for now by making the interface a class (luckily I
can do so in this case)
