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

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

// Output: ``true``
type = typeof (AbstractSimpleObject);
print (" is-abstr: %s\n", type.is_abstract ().to_string ());

// Output: ``false``
type = typeof (Enum);
print (" is-abstr: %s\n", type.is_abstract ().to_string ());
