This package provides a set of interfaces for implementing a
generic reflection API.
The motivations of this package are to have a generic
reflection API with interfaces so that any AO system provider can
implement its own base program introspection package. In general,
we cannot use java.lang.reflect since in most of the
AOP systems, this representation is not available (e.g. in
load-time systems or compile-time systems).
The implementor can implement this API for compile-time purpose
(for instance based on a source-code analysis implementation), for a
load-time purpose (mostly based on a bytecode-level
implementation), or for a run-time purpose.
This package has be rougthly specified and really needs further
investigations.
