I've done a little class <--> schema translation work in the past; this =
is much harder than it sounds. :-)  JSON Schema is considerably more com=
plex/robust than PHP classes, so translating between the two is a challe=
nge.  (Maybe set hooks could cover some cases now? Hm.)  Class->schema w=
ould be easier, but in that case I think it would be better to either le=
ave to user-space (it would just be a bit of reflection work) or if it's=
 in the core API to make it a separate operation from schema validation.=
  It's simple enough for a user to plug those two operations together th=
emselves when appropriate.
