Description
Getting the list of candidate function-or-methods a name might refer to (and for Sidef FOMs, their argument list?), reading a Block's inner/surrounding comments, similar things.
and some of the other kinds of reflection like implemented in Python's inspect, like the current line number or the line number where a variable / overload was defined.
