Wouldn't AST reflection be more complex to implement&use than a
macro system? I mean, a macro system is quite functional in
nature - the macro takes AST arguments and return an AST that
the compiler embeds into the code. With AST reflection, you
need to mutate an existing AST, which is more complex because
order of execution matters.
I mean read-only reflection akin to existing __traits
