Of course, what is useful and what isn't cannot generally
be decided statically. Again, deciding dynamically what to make explicit
(because it's considered useful) and what to make implicit (because
it's considered noisy) is precisely what Reflection is about.

As long as software is not free, we'll have hardware compatibility,
hence bad, expensive, hardware that has decades-long obsolete design
