Yup. I think the 'magic namespace' approach is a simple, clean way to 
incorporate reflection. It could be like Object and TypeInfo, implicitly 
available in every module and tightly coupled to the compiler, but can 
be viewed by the user as if it were just a module. It'd be particularly 
interesting if some of the functions _were_  actually implemented in 
library code, when possible.
