How to tell if an object is an instance of a class

Recently Object got the runtimeType getter. So now, we may not only compare type of object with another type, but actually get the class name of an object.

As in:

myObject.runtimeType.toString()

Furthermore, in the current version of Dart, you can skip the toString operation and directly compare runtimeType of object with target type:

myObject.runtimeType == int

or

myObject.runtimeType == Animal
