It seems like the intention of the Reflect API was to create a standard object were all reflection operations could reside.
Now that we have modules, a “@reflect” module is a more natural place for > many of the reflection methods previously defined on Object. For > backwards-compatibility purposes, it is unlikely that the static methods on > Object will disappear. However, new methods should likely be added to the > “@reflect” module rather than to the Object constructor. (From http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:reflect_api) But ES6 adds [Object.getOwnPropertySymbols][1], but has no Reflect api to match. Is this a mistake or intentional? On the same subject - the original Reflect proposal seemed to add the complete set of Object statics, including .freeze/isFrozen, .seal/isSealed, which seem to be missing from the RC. Once again, is this intentional? My google-fu seems to be lacking wrt finding anything about dropping these. 1: https://people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-object.getownpropertysymbols
