Description:
------------
The PHP5 reflection documentation begins with a list of classes.  Details on each class are promised in the following chapters.  This is never done for ReflectionException, the class is never mentioned again in the document.

Due to this it is unclear if ReflectionException is a specialised class to perform reflection on exceptions, or if it is thrown by the reflection classes.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

It is mentioned that "ReflectionException extends Exception" so it can be puzzled out what's the purpose of this class. I've added its own section however:

"ReflectionException extends the standard Exception and is thrown by Reflection API. No specific methods or properties are introduced."
