Hello all,

I've been spending a lot of time in the world of PHP reflection lately, which has led me to create PRs for the documentation, a bug for closure attributes, and even a new method on ReflectionMethod. I've also compiled a list of suggestions for various additions and improvements to some parts of reflection. 

You can find it here: https://gist.github.com/ollieread/34c878bf120ee70f9d2a869cb7a242d1

I'm looking for some feedback on the various elements and some guidance, if any have merit, as to whether they're going to require any sort of RFC. I'm also happy to create PRs for some of the features, if not all, though I think there are definitely some beyond my current knowledge. I would also be interested in hearing from anyone who also has other suggestions that could be added to this.

Apologies if I'm missing something, or I could have done something better, this is my first interaction with this mailing list, so I am also happy to receive any feedback about the best approaches and ways to handle things, if necessary.

Best Regards,
*Ollie Read*
