docs: Checks if Instance extends specified Class
  {@link Class#isAssignableFrom(Class)} is not used as Class might not be available
  and String representation can only be used
  
  @param object         Instance which would be checked
  @param superClassName Class with which it would be checked
  @return true if Instance extends specified Parent
