+ * UClassID is used to identify classes without using the compiler's RTTI.
+ * This was used before C++ compilers consistently supported RTTI.
+ * ICU 4.6 requires compiler RTTI to be turned on.
+ *
+ * Each class hierarchy which needs
+ * to implement polymorphic clone() or operator==() defines two methods,
+ * described in detail below. UClassID values can be compared using
+ * operator==(). Nothing else should be done with them.
+ *
+ * \par
+ * In class hierarchies that implement "poor man's RTTI",
+ * each concrete subclass implements getDynamicClassID() in the same way:
+ *
+ * \code
+ * class Derived {
+ * public:
+ * virtual UClassID getDynamicClassID() const
+ * { return Derived::getStaticClassID(); }
+ * }
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * Each concrete class implements getStaticClassID() as well, which allows
+ * clients to test for a specific type.
+ *
+ * \code
+ * class Derived {
+ * public:
+ * static UClassID U_EXPORT2 getStaticClassID();
+ * private:
+ * static char fgClassID;
+ * }
+ *
+ * // In Derived.cpp:

+ * { return (UClassID)&Derived::fgClassID; }
+ * char Derived::fgClassID = 0; // Value is irrelevant
