3139 :: Get base object from inherited object.

  hi,

  i'm trying to fix issue #5856 (that json.to() is not marshaling the base object). When i look into the macro it calls getType. Everything then looks fine (to me). It seems that the child type does not know about its base type.

  Is there a way to also get the base object atributes?

  OR

  can i get the base typedescr from a child object somehow?

  # The object that i marshal for testing
  type
    DmrsRequest* = ref object of RootObj
      rpcId*: RpcId
    DmrsRequestLogin*  = ref object of DmrsRequest
      username*: string
      password*: string
  Run

  The macro operates only on username, password. I want to also be able to operate on rpcId

  Calling getType() multiple times may give you the parents, I did that here:

  I got it from a hint of Araq, I have no idea what really is happening.
