Fixed a bug in Ruby's object tracking functionality. Previously, an object could be returned even if it did not have the correct type. This could occur if a factory class' creation method had a signature returning a base type (like geometry) but in reality a subclass (like Point) was returned. In that case, it would then be impossible to implement a "downcast" method and get back a Ruby object of type Point. Also updated the test-suite to test this situation.
