   * Check whether the given object is an instance of the specified class.

   * The necessity for this is discussed in PR #13: https://github.com/rootsdev/gedcomx-js/pull/13

   * 

   * We put this functionality in a method to be DRY, even though it's short.

   * This could easily change in the future for correction and performance.

   * 

   * It could be handy to expose this on GedcomX somewhere so that users of the

   * library can use it too. But then we would need to add a way for them to

   * easily get the _gedxClass property without being tied to that private

   * property name. In other words, a static method such as Person.getClass()

   * 

   * @param {Object} obj

   * @param {String} className

   * @returns {Boolean}
