Detailed Description

Type for object instances.

A few methods of this class talk about "inheritance levels". This is because we implement inheritance in C by containing the parent class. To access an inherited field, we must access this parent struct (ie instance.parent.fieldname). The mechanism for inherited methods is similar.
