Introspection is a term from computer science.
Introspection is a way to look at a given program and tell about its functions 
and data structures. This information is then used to access the program’s 
functions from another program (even in another programming language) or to 
create a documentation etc.

As far as I know the GIMP developers use it to access GIMP’s functions from 
Python plug-ins, but they might tell you more about their intentions 
themselves. 

Kind regards,

Steve
