public abstract class AbstractGObject : Object, Interface {}
public abstract class AbstractSimpleObject {}
public enum Enum { E }

public static int main (string[] args) {
// Output: ``true``
Type type = typeof (Interface);
print (" is-derived: %s\n", type.is_derived ().to_string ());

// Output: ``true``
type = typeof (AbstractGObject);
print (" is-derived: %s\n", type.is_derived ().to_string ());

// Output: ``false``
type = typeof (AbstractSimpleObject);
print (" is-derived: %s\n", type.is_derived ().to_string ());

// Output: ``true``
type = typeof (Enum);
print (" is-derived: %s\n", type.is_derived ().to_string ());
