For clarity here, we should mention that the class pfNode is derived
indirectly from the class pfMemory which contains a few member
functions to query and test the pfType of a particular instance of
a Performer object. pfMemory::getType() is one of them, the others
are isOfType(), isExactType() and getTypeName().
