Constants? We don't need no stinking constants! :-P Manifest strings, a
la typeof, are the natural and self-describing upgrade path, if we're
talking typeof (see Subject).
The Reflect namespace object is part of direct proxies, also populated
in SpiderMonkey (not web-facing) by Reflect.parse to get an AST for a
given source string. We could indeed put type-reflecting method(s) there
but I'm loath to add manifest constants. What's wrong with strings?
