Oops, that's actually the wrong term. Reflection seems to be the concept
where one object may interrogate another to see what services it can
perform (if I understood correctly). Which is interesting, but not at all
what I meant to say. I should probably just have written a "real" class /
object model, where objects are instanced from classes, and classes
inherits from parent classes. Just like any usual object model.
A modification to a class "reflects" on all objects of that class. But
that's not what is meant by reflection. Sorry for that. ;-)
