I just re-checked the RFC, and I'm completely against the reflection design
in here (which I previously dismissed as "oversight").

An `(A&B)|null` is **not** a `ReflectionIntersectionType`, but should
instead be a `ReflectionUnionType`.


Therefore, adding this to the "NO" reasons, since we'll otherwise have to
live with this mistake for many years to come.
