How do you access [NSObject class] in Swift?

Question

How do you do the following in Swift?

[SomeClass class]

The class method of NSObject is only available to Objective-C. How would you do the equivalent in Swift? I'm interfacing with an Objective-C 3rd party library.

The answer seems to be:

SomeClass.self

and if you have an instance:

someInstance.dynamicType
