The .sources file has been optional for as long as I can remember.
Is it OK for list that somebody breaks this tradition?

Hi Trygve,
I���m not sure what you mean by this question.
Are you asking, ���Is it acceptable to have code that relies on reflection in order to operate properly?��� To this question I would answer ���yes��� since some things are easier to do using reflection.
Or are you asking, ���Would it be better to not have FFI at all until it can be implemented without reflection?��� To this question I would answer ���no��� since people that don���t want reflection can choose to forego features that require it.
Or are you asking, ���Would it be nice if someone could do the work to implement FFI without reflection?��� To this question I would answer ���yes.��� Unfortunately, there is a cost involved.
So were you asking one of those questions or something else?
James
