Description
JclIsClassByName is an is class operator replacement. This implementation checks the class by it's name. JclIsClassByName checks the name of AnObj's class with the name of AClass. If they're not equal (case insensitive), the parent tree is checked. If an equal name is found, the entire path to the root is checked as well. Only if the path exactly matches AnObj is AClass is assumed to be True.

Notes
Although the names of all classes upto the root matches, it's not certain that AnObj actually is of AClass. To increase certainty, one should also check the unit name where the class is declared and possibly also it's InstanceSize.
