Function to get object type

Description

Currently, there is no built in method to detect the type of object being used if it is created using a constructor. Using "''typeof''" on an object defined using "''new Array()''" yields "''object''" as a result without revealing what type of "''object''" you are working with. It would be useful to have a built-in function to determine the type of object.

Referring to the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/CheapSk8/3uUVT/, using the object constructor, you can determine the type of object passed in.
