Hi Simon,
My question is why do you need it? If it's not for something UI-specific, then you may be doing something in a not-so-optimal way...
I'm not saying you _are_ doing something wrong, just that any time I think of using instanceof or similar, I stop and review my design decisions to make sure I haven't gone wrong somewhere.
