I agree that the symmetry with java.lang.reflect is
nice, so I'll go ahead and do this. This brings us
back, however, to the question of whether [reflect]
should be resurrected. My personal feeling is that
the scope of [reflect] as repository for "stuff to
make it easier to work with java.lang.reflect" is so
small and has so much overlap with [lang], that it's
not really worth it. The namespace of
java.lang.reflect once again emphasizes that this
stuff is at best a subset of functionality that makes
sense in [lang].
In contrast, Morph's "reflector" facet would IMHO make
a nice standalone Commons component as a/the new take
on the bean/dynabean/etc. facilities of [beanutils].
Similar to [clazz] but far less complicated IMO, and
therefore hopefully more likely to survive.
