WIP: Introduce overloaded IsA() with type info

Todd requested to merge todoooo/vtk:Feature_optimize_typeof into master

Whereas VTK uses class name text, most object oriented languages use a pointer for class type information. This change set implements a similar approach using std::type_info, in order to replace a slow string comparison with a fast integer comparison. It also permits compiler type checking.

@dgobbi @allisonvacanti Is this worthwhile?
