     52  * UClassID is used to identify classes without using the compiler's RTTI.
     53  * This was used before C++ compilers consistently supported RTTI.
     54  * ICU 4.6 requires compiler RTTI to be turned on.
     55  *
     56  * Each class hierarchy which needs
     57  * to implement polymorphic clone() or operator==() defines two methods,
     58  * described in detail below.  UClassID values can be compared using
     59  * operator==(). Nothing else should be done with them.
     60  *
     61  * \par
     62  * In class hierarchies that implement "poor man's RTTI",
     63  * each concrete subclass implements getDynamicClassID() in the same way:
     64  *
     65  * \code
     66  *      class Derived {
     67  *      public:
     68  *          virtual UClassID getDynamicClassID() const
     69  *            { return Derived::getStaticClassID(); }
     70  *      }
     71  * \endcode
     72  *
     73  * Each concrete class implements getStaticClassID() as well, which allows
     74  * clients to test for a specific type.
     75  *
     76  * \code
     77  *      class Derived {
     78  *      public:
     79  *          static UClassID U_EXPORT2 getStaticClassID();
