Inheritance and the collision handler

Hi,

I just encountered a problem when preparing the course-material for our 
AI course
(which of course is based on breve ;-) ):
The "handle-collisions", which expects the name of a type to be 
specified as string,
does not respect inheritance, or does it? The problem occured when we 
provided a base class
for agents the students could subclass. In this situation we do not know 
the name of their agent
beforehand, but some of the auxiliary objects need to handle collisions 
with the agents.
Therefore we would need the name of their subclass with the current 
implementation
to handle-collisions. But it would be nice if we just could say: 
handle-collisions "OURBASECLASS"
and the subclasses will also be caught (following the inheritance tree).

Hmm. I hope you did get the point ;-)

By the way: the documentation seems to need some updates. Some of the 
examples are
only fractionary and e.g. the vector and its subcomponents are not 
sufficiently described.

Ciao
Thies
