Possible useful features from Roave/BetterReflection

[MarkRedeman]

Hi Felix,

Are you aware of the Roave/BetterReflection library? They may have some features that could be useful for your project.
For instance there is currently a pr to add a variable collector which adds the option to get all variables (and their possible types) inside of function.
This might help resolve #160 (though I'm not sure since I haven't yet looked at your code).

No, wasn't aware of it. Does it resolve types recursively like I do?
I'm always for using existing packages and improving them.
#160 is a very easy ticket though, I just haven't got around to fixing it, it's low priority.

I'm not quite sure yet how you do it (I might take a look at your code during my christmas break while I try to integrate this into my Emacs setup :) ). The PR that I mentioned currently only supports assigning variable definitions and determines its type by the right hand side of the assignment.

Good, I will close this issue for now since it isn't a bug or feature request.
