I have committed a new library to the sandbox. It's called "introspection".

It's another shot at implementing reflection. I am aware that similar 
work already exists, like Jeremy Pack's reflection library and 
Boost.Mirror (although this one currently supports only compile-time 
reflection).

It's a work in progress - the testsuite is the doc at this point ;-) - 
and maybe it will never be completed/submitted. My primary goal is not 
to implement reflection per se, I'd be happy to leave the honor to 
Jeremy but currently it's not clear that his work can serve as a basis 
for my future developments (multimethods, generic object manipulation).
