Actually, a better implementation would be:

Object>>is: aClassOrSymbol

�^�aClassOrSymbol�asString = self class name�asString

Like this you can even pass the class instead of its name (I presume that printOn: will not change any time soon so we can rely on the fact that we can polymorphically obtain the name of the class via asString).

exactly, that is everybody's immediate reaction, except for the method's author ;)..
