Hello Andi,

  deep integration of reflection is good to be able to get as much
information out of it as possible. On the other hand we're not java
and have different code strategies and especially java's demand for
reflection doesn't apply to php (dependency injection/inversion of
control). And if i remember correctly it was you that kept me back
from allowing that stuff. That said there is only two main reasons
for refletion left. Helping during development and a very tiny edge
case (something like dynamically creating objects). On the other
hand reflection is a very big extension. So a few ppl might want to
have their own php builds without reflection. That is also the reason
why we lately came to agree on moving reflection into its own ext
and even Zeev agreed.

best regards
marcus
