Nice! I'm working on something similar but with a different 
goal.


Thanks! How’s the thing similar and what’s the goal (if you 
don’t mind me asking)?


Similar: One-stop shop for reflection unifying the disparate 
APIs.
Goal: allow "regular" code for reflection purposes by (also) 
returning everything as strings.


Is this related to the talk Andrei gave at a recent dconf?

Fortunately, these changes still have not appeared in a release, 
so we can still fix them. The reason why this discussion occurred 
in this thread was that a Digger user tried to install the 
"master" version after a stable release, at which point the 
change had already occurred in the master branch.

Wonderful quote from you Walter!

The careful reader will notice something peculiar in what I wrote: “as if”. 
What do I mean by that weasel wording? Is there some skullduggery going on? 
Why yes, there is. Computer languages are full of “as if” dirty deeds under 
the hood, like the money you deposit in your bank account isn’t actually there 
(I apologize if this is a rude shock to anyone), and this isn’t any different. 
Read on!


I copied that over to Oceania's Discord server to talk about (very well 
received).


Thanks for letting me know. I enjoyed writing it.
