There's some rationale on the original wiki page for the reflect API: < http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:reflect_api#purpose>. We also had a related short debate on this list 3 months ago, see < https://esdiscuss.org/topic/reflect-getownpropertysymbols#content-0>, in particular, Allen's comment: "In ES6, the primary role of the Reflect object is to provide direct access to an object's essential internal methods".
