Description:
------------
The reflection api is not documented in a way that makes it easy for extension developers to support parameter reflection in their extensions.

I wrote a small howto which covers this:
http://www.cweiske.de/howto/hackingphp5/Hacking.html

Just contact me if you want the docbook sources.

In fact, we don't have any documentation that can help extension developers..
Although it would be good to have a developers' manual, it doesn't exist. And we will not document this in the main manual.

We *do* have other extension developer docs.
Someone might document the reflection API related features someday.

Thanks. Having had a quick glance at the file, it seems to be a
good addition to "PHP at the Core: A Hacker's Guide"[1]. To do so
would require to transfer the copyright to the "PHP Documentation
Group" and to change the license to CC BY 3.0[2]. Would you agree
to do so?

Yes, I agree to the license change and copyright transfer.
