Hi Max,

Regarding the inheritance-related behavior ("The non-serializable flag is
inherited by descendants"), this is very unlike any other attributes, and
this actively prevents writing a child class that'd make a parent
serializable if it wants to.
To me, if this is really the behavior we want, then the attribute should be
replaced by a maker interface.
Then, a simple "instanceof NotSerializable" would be enough instead of
adding yet another method to ReflectionClass.
Cheers,
Nicolas
