I can't really say about CL, but Objective C has excellent run time
discovery. Additionally all data members of a class are private, so
there is no way or reason to allow access to them. Only the messages
matter, these are all run-time discoverable.
In fact, why bother with run-time type inspection? Just send a
message to an object and be prepared to handle the exception...
