I noticed there is a server-side implementation <https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go/blob/d0c32ee6a441117d49856d6120ca9552af413ee0/reflection/serverreflection.go> in Go for service reflection <https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go/blob/d0c32ee6a441117d49856d6120ca9552af413ee0/reflection/grpc_reflection_v1alpha/reflection.proto>. But a client is notably absent. Using a generated stub is inconvenient for numerous reasons, not least among them being that the generated API of raw descriptor protos is rather unwieldy.
I've written such a client <https://github.com/jhump/protoreflect/blob/4df185295ba66e94f4fd8e8f60f6a34be0cf875b/grpcreflect/clientreflection.go> and was wondering if it would be considered a useful addition to the core grpc-go repo. It provides a richer descriptor type, similar to what is done in Java and C++ protobuf implementations, to make the returned schema easier to use. (I've also asked the protobuf mailing list if the descriptors would be a welcome contribution to the Go protobuf library.
