Reflection is often used as part of software testing, such as for the runtime creation/instantiation of mock objects. Reflection is also a key strategy for metaprogramming. In some object-oriented programming languages such as C# and Java, reflection can be used to bypass member accessibility rules. For C#-properties this can be achieved by ...
Programming languages and computing platforms that typically support reflective programming (reflection) include dynamically typed languages such as Smalltalk, Perl, PHP, Python, VBScript, and JavaScript. Also the .NET languages are supported and the Maude system of rewriting logic.

This just means that reflection is the ability of a program to reason about itself. So the first sentence of the article is on toppic, the rest is about Reflection-oriented programming 134.58.39.247 08:31, 20 October 2008 (UTC) I agree with you, but reasoning is too ambiguous and more in the field of AI.
Reflection (computer graphics), simulation of reflective surfaces Reflection mapping, an efficient image-based lighting technique for approximating the appearance of a reflective surface by means of a precomputed texture
In computer programming, a mirror is a reflection mechanism that is completely decoupled from the object whose structure is being introspected. This is as opposed to traditional reflection, for example in Java, where one introspects an object using methods from the object itself (e.g. getClass()).
