Just like you should avoid using goto statements in favour of regular
loops, you should avoid using RTTI in favor of other language features
that can do the same.
Anyway, RTTI scarcely has uses. The visitor pattern, for example, is a
much better approach when you want to check the type of a variable
over multiple cases.
