About the items in regards to reflection in there:

The RFC states
        ReflectionClass::getMethods() will not return accessor functions
        (hides implementation detail).
Up until now reflection is leaky and is telling the truth. We should
either keep that or completely clean up reflection. (mind also
get_class_methods() and such)

The RFC also introduces a new class ReflectionPropertyAccessor and has
methods returning ReflectionProperty and ReflectionPropertyAccessor.
there should either be a common base class or interface (see i.e.
ReflectionFunctionAbstract)

What will  ReflectionPropertyAccessor->getGetter()->getName() return? I
guess reflection will be leaky there? (see first item)
