me: how do i check if my object is of a given type?
typescript:
> oh we don't have a way for that, you write a function :)
```typescript
function isOfTargetType(obj: any): obj is TargetType{
return obj !== undefined
}
```

...wasn't this THE WHOLE POINT of #typescript?? Are we any better off than just writing regular-ass javascript?
