Reflection should always tell the truth, or there is no point in it.

This is one of the points I was trying to get across, there is
currently no way to set the default value*. If your setter performs
some sort of calculation on the value, then you're going to have to
reverse that process in order to set the initial value constructor.

*Unless you use the following highly confusing approach.

class MyClass {
    protected $__property =3D 'default';

    public $property {
        get;
    }
}
