+	* Add QPDFObjectHandle::getTypeCode().  This method returns a
+	unique integer (enumerated type) value corresponding to the object
+	type of the QPDFObjectHandle.  It can be used as an alternative to
+	the QPDFObjectHandle::is* methods for type testing, particularly
+	where there is a desire to use a switch statement or optimize for
+	performance when testing object types.
+
+	* Add QPDFObjectHandle::getTypeName().  This method returns a
+	string literal describing the object type.  It is useful for
+	testing and debugging.
