This library is a type safe wrapper for PHP Reflection API.

This library is born with the purpose to solve the problem of type safety in PHP Reflection API.
Reflection API is a very powerful tool, but presents some issues.

For example:

• the original ReflectionClass::getConstant return false if the constant does not exist or if the constant is equal to false.
• ReflectionClass::newInstance return a generic object, but it is possible to know the type of the object.
• New interfaces are added to the Reflection API in different PHP versions, so it is not possible to use them in a cross-version way.
