might be a coding horror, but is there a programmatic way to get the concrete parent class of an anonymous class?

i.e. given

val x = new Thing with SomeTraitAndNowImAnonymous

is there a method on x I can call that will return Thing?

it is for the dumbest of reasons - providing a className to a logger instance that is mixed in as a trait.

edit: the logger trait isnt the trait being mixed in at instantiation time.
