You are technically correct that someone /could/ override a class' 
class() method, but I think it's pretty well understood that such a 
person would need to be kil^H^H^H discouraged from doing that ;)

So I believe that it is reliable to use the class() method to determine 
an object's class. Have you actually run across a class whose class() 
method has been overridden?
