Detailed Description

Adds the ability for openDAQ objects to report what type of object they represent.

An object can implement this interface to give clients introspection ability on the type of the object. The client can use this information to further query for the interface of the specific type. For example, if the CoreType reported is ctInt, the object is expected to implement the IIntObject interface.
