Hi,
please review this patch to enable caching of getCanonicalName and
getSimpleName, repeated calls of which has been reported to be a
performance
bottleneck. The caching improves performance of these methods by up to 20x.
Rather than adding new fields to Class itself, which would have
footprint implications on classes, we can piggy-back on
Class$ReflectionData object.
