The ability for a language to be reflective as far as I know is the
ability to view the strcutres that implement the languages semantics,
and the ability to modify these things when they dont seed your
particular needs. For Example you could have an Object oriented language
where each Object is a dictionary, a strcture used to associate messages
with a function or data entry. Im not very good at speaking on the topic
so Ill stop now :)
