Overview

The basic mirror. This is the lib code. It is also the factory to use for creating new mirrors on any kind of object. Its #reflect class method will return an appropriate mirror for a given object, provided one has been registered. The [ObjectMirror] class should have been registered as the fallback case for any kind of object, but that may depend on the specific API implementation.
