_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This function searches for classes that extend the given class and
     returns their names.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     getChildrenClasses(X, where = .GlobalEnv)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       X: The class name of the abstract class.

   where: The environment that will be searched for children of that
          class.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     'getChildrenClasses' will determine for each class defined in
     environment 'where' if it extends the class 'X'. The names of all
     classes that fall into this category are returned by the function.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     The a character vector of all classes defined in environment
     'where' that extend class 'X'.

_E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s:

     ## Should return the clustering algorithms provided by goCluster
     getChildrenClasses("clusterAlgorithm")
